I once worked for a computer manufacturer. Talking with one of the CPU designers one day, the differences in time scales were interesting. He was working on making something a few picoseconds faster, and I was dealing with a customer's complaint that a program that used to run in an hour was now taking two hours.

Sorry I missed it. I slept thru it. Really needed the sleep.

As noted in the Books thread recently, I read a book about Old English that included a lot about the Anglo-Saxon letters that were dropped from the modern English alphabet, like thorn (Þ þ), eth (Ð ð), wynn (Ƿ ƿ), aesc (Æ æ), and othal (Œ œ), and runes that were still in use. Now I'm wondering how to write those letters in cursive.

From Tony Isabella's blog:
COME HANG WITH SUPERMAN AND TONY ISABELLA
Superman’s Cleveland: Lineage and Legacy is a city-wide celebration of the heritage of Superman, the world’s first comic book superhero invented in 1938 in Glenville by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, two Jewish high school students. In this month-long series of programs, scholars and comic book lovers will join interested Clevelanders in book discussions, comics-making workshops, live interviews with creators, and a rich lineup of programs exploring the lineage and legacy of Superman, Cleveland, and the comics medium.
Hosted by the Rust Belt Humanities Lab at Ursuline College in partnership with the Ohio Center for the Book at the Cleveland Public Library, Superman’s Cleveland gathers institutional partners from across Northeast Ohio.
This Saturday, October 28, I'll be giving a talk and workshop on the core values of Superman. It’ll be a discussion of who Superman has been and is. It's from 10:00am to noon at Rising Star Coffee Roastery, 3617 Walton Avenue in Cleveland.
I hope to engage with my students on how Superman has become more inclusive, starting way back in late 1940s with the launch of the Superboy series. We’ll discuss Supergirl, Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, the Legion of Super-Heroes and even his bisexual son.
If you’re in the Cleveland area, please join us.

Moore's magical ideas made total sense to me. I didn't pay much attention to the Five Swell Guys until later on in the series.
