This one is for the hardcore CompSci geeks out there. JohnS shows off his impeccably done Wolfram 2-state 3-color Turing machine. Lissa at Sacred Heart Tattoo was the one with the steady hand that inked such a beautiful geeky thing.

Did JohnS include any explanation of that state machine at the top? I'm not familiar with the notation, I sort of wonder if he invented it. It's clearly the same (2, 3) machine on the Wikipedia page, but I can't work out how to translate the notation.
Awesome tattoo, JohnS! It is amazing how precise it is…
Hi PeterH, I invented the notation. The notation is one of two possible notations you can see in "Rule icon" pod at http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=Wolfram+2%2C…. You might be more familiar with the other notation. If you want to know more about this functionality, you can see my original blog post here: http://blog.wolframalpha.com/2010/05/06/tinkering…
