It's official. I'm a computer science nerd. I was putting off bedtime just now, when I came across this - logic gates made out of Legos. I am so excited about this it's not even funny. He has here all of the logic gates necessary to build a simple computer - at least as functional as those ancient punch-card types, if not more. This is all stuff that I have an exam on tomorrow. Using just those couple gates he could build an adder and even memory! Well, in theory anyways. In reality the gears would start to slip before you could store more than a few lines of binary, and any useful implementation would fill up a warehouse. But still... maybe I should start stocking up on some of those pieces. I bet I could fit a basic 8-bit ALU on a kitchen table.
