Vannevar Who?

Vannevar Bush, now there's name you don't hear every day. I recently came across him when I saw a post on Andrew Jones weblog (link) regarding a parody by Ted Bednar for a Mega-Church computer game (link). This lead me to an article (link.pdf) by Bednar in which he quotes a Vannevar Bush article from 1945 (link)

So I did a little looking to see who else may be citing Vannevar and came across this interesting insight concerning Bush's "roomful of girls" (link).

I was impressed by her phrase, "It's insulting, humorous, and forgivable--in that order--to read Bush."

If we could only show each other this much grace. Thanks Moira.
