Major Goodwill score: on a recent trip, Jon Ryan found a clever 1985 pop-up book explaining how a personal computer works. I’m hereby challenging the pop-up tycoons out there to publish an updated laptop version.



The binary decoders look especially cool.



If your local Goodwill is fresh out, you can order your own copy from Amazon.

about

Explainist is a blog about the art of explaining. Check out the first post to get a sense of the blog mission and see why I'm such an explanation nerd.

I earned my explaining merit badge as one of the original writers and the mid-aughts Editorial Director for HowStuffWorks.com. These days, I'm an independent Web project consultant, freelance writer and part-time crazy dog person. You can learn more about me here.

Fellow explainist and citizen on patrol Dave Coustan also shows up to explain now and then. You can learn more about Dave here.

If you have any thoughts about Explainist, I'd love to hear from you. You can reach me at tom at explainist dot com

Thank you for visiting,

- Tom
