Never too late to learn

One of the great parts of post Christmas TV are the Royal Institution Christmas lectures. Something I generally always want to watch and generally over the years have missed the majority of the week long series. This year they're all based on computing, and currently looking at how microprocessors work and are made.

Having worked in computing for the past 5 years and done a degree in Software engineering there is still a huge amount of detail related to the hardware that I would have to admit to being sketchy on. I know enough to be dangerous and am fairly happy to muck about with the innards of a modern PC, but it's still nice to sit here of an evening learning how they make things and where the current limitations lie.

Tomorrow's on Human Computer Interaction will be worth a watch as well...
