Re: what is ".sb" mean?
Might be for "Scratch Blocks"?
or maybe "Scratch Basic" (like dark basic, or visual basic, etc)
wait, found it: it might stand for Raw Signed Byte Data. Here's a page about it:

Re: what is ".sb" mean?
It's probably "Scratch Binary", as in binary files.

So I emailed Karen Brennan Consult about this question,
He has not yet replied to my question.

She is also interested in curriculum development, computer science education and gender equity.
She came to the Media Lab in August 2007, after having explored music, computer science, mathematics, and education in post-secondary studies. She has a BSc in computer science and mathematics, a BEd in the same areas, and an MA in curriculum studies - all from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada.

Karenb 's answer :
>Hmmm, I asked our advisor Mitchel Resnick about it -- and he wrote to me:
>We selected ".sb" for "Scratch Blocks"
>(Originally, we wanted the extension "scr" but that was already taken.)

Re: what is ".sb" mean?
If you are Scared of Twitter, and looked on Facebook, it says:
Scratch’s Facebook Page wrote:
Scratch Trivia of the day: we tried using .scr for the file extension but it was "taken" so we settled for "sb" for Scratch blocks. The more you know!
So SB means Scratch Blocks.
