Tech history in a meaningless-but-fun ranking

The Atlantic has a good article up on the 50 greatest breakthroughs since the wheel. Much fun.

Dear Salon.com....

You win. You've made it clear that it's impossible to view your site without getting bombarded with ads for the "American Blackout" special tomorrow night. They must have paid a lot for that kind of marketing.

I hope it's enough to offset the readers you're losing.

I usually hit your site a couple of times a day. I'll be back next week.
