I was so wanting to make it to the Inaugural Meeting of the Athanasius Kircher Society, but wasn’t able to get it together. Phi Torrone of MAKE described is thusly: “What an exciting creepy cool evening New York city experienced!” Sounds like my idea of a good time! MAKE co-sponsored the event and is going to be sending to mag subscribers a copy of “Athanasius Kircher’s Magnetic Clock” book. Can’t wait. MAKE has a short piece on the event and some Flickr pics. If you haven’t bookmarked the Society’s website, check it out. It’s one of my new favorite sites.
