Ben Gross This is incredibly cool, as is the fact that the original @gutenberg.org edition of the Declaration of Independence (a.k.a. "the world's first eBook") is still available online! gutenberg.org/ebooks/1 #histSTM #histtech #ComputerHistory #eBooks #Booksky #teletype 🗃️📜📚
Ben Gross I am once again asking a historian of science or technology* to review this exhibition... (* Preferably someone deeply familiar with the early modern period or the history of computing. Or both, like Mike Mahoney!) #histSTM #histsci #histtech 🗃️📜

Ben Gross Riddle me this, #histSTM friends: How is a guillotine like a Gantt chart? A: They are both case studies featured in @ejonesimhotep.bsky.social's new examination of technological breakdowns & the politics of the self, published today by @mitpress.bsky.social! #histsci #histtech #STS #booksky 🗃️⚙️📜
Ben Gross A souvenir from the Greater Austin Book Fest: A hand-sewn pamphlet edition of a short story inspired by French inventor Jacques de Vaucanson and his mechanical, defecating duck! 🦆 💩 #histsci #histtech #histSTM

Ben Gross Spotted in my hotel lobby: A poster promoting @uni.lu's #HISTOFEST, which will take place next week here in Esch-sur-Alzette. (For what it's worth, "History on Full Blast" would also be a great slogan for this year's @shothisttech.bsky.social meeting...) www.uni.lu/c2dh-en/even... #SHOT2025 🗃️⚙️
