Motherboard Earth by Alain Bousquet
Encoded in our DNA is the organic circuitry of life, programming everything from our physical structure to the hardwired commands needed to run, fight, or play. Alain’s series of interlaced circuits create a user interface for the abstract ideas we use to build our world.
Love this interpretation of biological “circuitry”. Although, I’d say that DNA is more the biological program, and the temporal interactions of the proteins and higher-order structures it codes for are really the “circuit board” … but that’s just me :)

First administrative cabinet of the government of Puerto Rico under the Jones-Shafroth Act (also known as the Jones Act) of 1917: A. Ruíz Soler (Health), José E. Benedicto (Treasurer), Ramón Siaca Pacheco (Secretary), Hon. Arthur Yager (Governor, 1914-1921), Paul G. Miller (Education), Manuel Camuñas (Labor and Agriculture), Salvador Mestre (Attorney General), Guillermo Esteves (Interior), Jesse W. Bonner (Auditor), Pedro L. Rodríguez (Governor’s Secretary).
US Rep. William Atkins Jones of Virginia (left), chairman of the House Committee on Insular Affairs, and Sen. John F. Shafroth of Colorado (right), chairman of the Senate Committee on Pacific Islands and Puerto Rico, authored the Jones-Shafroth Act, whose provisions included granting United States citizenship to Puerto Ricans. The act was signed into law by US president Woodrow Wilson on March 2, 1917, less than two decades after the island had come under US control following the Spanish-American War.

On March 1, 1954, the Puerto Rican nationalists Lolita Lebron, Rafael Miranda, Irving Flores Rodriguez and Andres Figueroa Cordero entered the United States Capitol’s House of Representatives chamber and began firing at members of Congress, injuring five.
The four shooters were members of the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party, an organization that called for full independence for Puerto Rico, which has been under United States control since the end of the Spanish-American War in 1898. The party often used violent means to advance its cause, including an assassination attempt on President Harry S. Truman in November 1950, months after he signed a bill allowing Puerto Rico to draft its own Constitution.
Puerto Rico adopted its Constitution in 1952 and became an unincorporated, organized territory of the United States with commonwealth status, which angered hardcore nationalists. Mr. Miranda said agreeing to these terms made Puerto Ricans looked like “happy slaves.” According to The Times’s obituary of Ms. Lebron, she had “dismissed that status as only more colonization and demanded complete independence.”
The Capitol attack was the last significant act of violence carried out by the Nationalist Party. The four shooters were given long sentences, but Mr. Cordero, who was battling cancer at the time, was released in 1978. The other three were released by President Jimmy Carter the following year in an effort to secure the release of American hostages in Cuba. (x)
