"Scratch is a visual programming language designed to be used by children. It was created by the "Lifelong Kindergarten Group" at MIT's Media Lab and, like the Croquet project, it is based on Squeak Smalltalk. The Scratch homepage lists over two thousand projects mostly, AFIK, created by children"

This is really promising for children education and keeping them engaged in the Information technology environment. I recommend that all parents and those who have ids around them, to check out Mick's Guessing Game

fawny keeps pushing the envelope

yes Joe Clark is the anti commons superman !! No doubt Joe is very intelligent and stirs the pot. In his post on Creative commons he challenges the notion of value propagation and who actually wins in those type of scenarios.

Well worth the time reading, and its really a challenge to sit back and accept his discourse. I think a lot of the Camps that are being done are in good faith. After all he was lead organizer for the DesignSlam Camp.

Jason Calacanis is a liar

Yeah WTF is wrong with this dude. He sez, he's not going to blog for a month and then makes more creative posts and links of interesting things. Now, would you call him a liar ??

Hey Jason, I never did take you up on the link bait issue, but there you made me did it !! :)-

Bugger the liar of all times.. actually its more like kudos to the A-hole for making me link to him !!

How the blogosphere looks !!

Excellent Visual's and data mining efforts. Think of over 40M blogs. I would really like to see the data for the edge effects on the hyperbolic display of blogs using both the WWE and the ICWSM 2007 data sets.

How main Stream bloggers are ripping off idea's from others

This is an interesting pile of foo. At Philipp's forum there was a nice conversation that happened on the sexism of "She vs He" type of SERP within Google.

Today while taking my feeds, I see Valley Wag pointing to a Chicago Tribune entry on the very same content/ idea which was seeded at Philipp's blog. Therefore, I am asking what is called as authentic Journalism ??

Ok, I am not against Main Stream Media.. but is not Chicago Tribune actually ripping of Philipp's originals post without proper attribution ??

I mean the author has taken this seed of thought and spin it in a slightly different way.. and is this called as authentic Journalism ??

Moving Platforms

I might me moving my more regular post into this zone rather then my typepad area. For Better or for worst. This has been my first blog zone !!

407 Admin Problems !!

Randy is really mad at the Executives of 407 !!

I can really understand his problems. Some of these Corporations really bully the general public into paying. Its about time that public stand up and fight. There is right and there is wrong and what is right that we stand up against wrongs. It is a moral obligation of every human being.

You Go Randy !!
