I was looking for the "turing tar pit" on the web to find out if befunge 
was the hardest
language to program in. I think "brainfuck" or something like that was 
the hardest to
program in. Anyhow I found a site with some intersting thoughts about 
computers and
programing -- "Epigrams in Programming"

A nice break from all the hardware hacking.
