Today is the 35th anniversary of the Intel i4004, the world's first microprocessor! You can Google what you need to know, and visit the unofficial site here: http://www.4004.com 
Not that I expect anyone else out here to be even remotely as nerdy as me, but I'm psyched! I gotta get me a copy of the repro MCS-4 manual for my collection, and to be honest I would KILL to see the uber-mega-huge mock i4004 CPU they built!!
(The 4004 evolved into the 8008, then the 8080/8085, and ultimately into the 8086/8088 architecture which I'm betting 98% of you are still using TODAY. Even the very very new Core 2 Quad can be considered an 8086-based system if you stretch the truth a little )
That is all. NERDS UNITE AND CELEBRATE!
