Really cool paper enigma machine - rendering as real circular rotors. More elegant than my paper enigma, I think (though takes quite a bit more work to construct).
1 FaverShareViewed: 29 TimesMy Enigma lecture available for viewing here. Requires a special web viewer to see both slides and video. My talk really needs both to be most comprehensible. I may try to make a custom edited video that combines both to play back on Google Video.
I also want to watch some of these earlier lectures - Wozniak, Bud Tribble (Apple), Ray Ozzie, John Markoff, etc.

Daily traffic to this page jumped from about 40/day to 4,000 yesterday (and I received 3 new orders for my $10 10-pack of Paper Enigmas).

U-505 Submarine was captured during WWII. This M-4 Enigma was on board. Now on display in Chicago.

1 FaverShareViewed: 9 TimesQuoted: Cryptologists operating on a shoestring can produce Enigma-quality ciphers by downloading and printing a simple one-page PDF file. The paper version of the device "is compatible with the original 3-rotor German Enigma used during World War II," says its maker, Mike Koss, on his Web site.

Transcript of Obama's acceptance speech. The story of the 106-year-old voter (not quoted here) was my favorite part.
Quoted: This victory alone is not the change we seek. It is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were.
It can't happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice.
So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility, where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other.
2 FaversViewed: 4 TimesQuoted: And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote tonight, but I hear your voices. I need your help. And I will be your president, too.
And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces, to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of the world, our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.
To those -- to those who would tear the world down: We will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security: We support you. And to all those who have wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright: Tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope. - AdEmp - 13 days ago1 FaverViewed: 3 Times
