STOP TALKING CARDS / Rare Device
Recently gave these to a friend as a birthday gift. I expect to have a lot of them handed right back to me, one card at a time.

Trains on the Brain - Boing Boing
“Recently, I was re-reading Steven Levy’s book, Hackers, and it begins by telling the story of the MIT Model Railroad Club. There were two groups in the student club — one that worked on the detailed layouts and the other that worked on the switching. It was the latter that saw the possibilities for using computers to control the trains. It was this group that first defined the hacker ethic and what Levy called the “hands-on” imperative. If you couldn’t get your hands on something and take it apart, you could not understand how it works and learn to use it.”
