There's a guy over on
DailyKos who posts the most amazing science articles. I've had a good enough education so that I'm at the point where I basically know how most things work - not necessarily every single detail, but the main physical principles and ideas. I haven't really learned anything new from any of his posts, but I'm still enthralled by them. There's something beautiful about a well-written explanation about something in our universe.
Anyway, I had been thinking that a similar article might have an audience here. Something like, "how my computer works," at a pretty detailed level, but still completely accessible, even if you haven't studied electrical engineering. I dunno.....is this what you were thinking of?
