Motherboard is a celebration of the diversity and eclecticism of the culture that surrounds technology. Rather than squinting at technology through the lens of gizmos and gadgetry, Motherboard explores the ways it influences and affects music, art, design, film, gaming, sports, issues surrounding the environment, and everything else we find important.

So consider the floor open for group participation. It's simple: Get involved in an existing discussion, post your own related videos, write posts, comment, anything… you're now part of the Motherboard.

The Quest multimedia series at California’s KQED just put out this 12-minute piece on the history of particle accelerators, “Homegrown Particle Accelerators,” covering from their earliest 1930s incarnations to the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center in the ‘70s, and, finally, Europe’s current beast of an accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider. Worth a look.
