That was a great and interesting read. The more I read up on these guys like Shannon, Von Neumann, etc., the more I find they do all sorts of weird ass things, even if they're only really known for one thing.
I had heard of Shannon's juggling theorem, but never really knew he dabbled in wearable computers. Interestingly enough, he knew about degrees of separation in '60 before Milgram in '67.
How did you come across this? Were you looking for it in particular, or did you stumble across it looking for something else?
