Scratch

So you could say that a predicate slot is a shortcut for the <THE <> BLOCK> block in the Boolean slot?

EDIT: Had an extra ? mark at the end of my sentence :I.

Now maybe that's how I should refer to "Scratch program or one of its derivatives"...

Who's the mom? (or dad)

Scratch needs a spouse to have children?

Smalltalk, or Javascript, or Flash, I suppose.

Aw, that's no fair — now we have to guess! (Though I like the multicultural spelling...)

Either you have really long arms, or that picture was taken from a really strange angle!

Both?

I'm glad to see that your taste in window background colors is better than your taste in text editors.

I hate you.

If the human mind can imagine it, someone has written it for Emacs.

I knew that would be a thing. 

Today's crazy idea:

The Beauty and Joy of Computing team are planning a workshop for high school teachers this summer that will serve both teachers who are new to BJC and those who took our workshops in previous summers.  (If you're thinking "I'm not a teacher," keep reading.)  The way we'll serve both groups is this:

The workshop for new participants is six weeks, of which the first and last are face-to-face, with four weeks of taking our online course in the middle.  The plan for returning participants is that they'd come only to the last f2f week, so it'd be twice as big, might have parallel threads, and will be a prototype for a possible annual Snap! conference.

Now, what we're talking about so far is a conference for adults, like Scratch@MIT as opposed to Scratch Day.  But what if we had a kid thread too?  We don't have hundreds of thousands of Snap!pers, so a geographically distributed Snap! Day would (at least at this time) be silly.  But, umm, I just think it'd be fun to bring our gang together.

I know, it'd be expensive, and you all have summer plans already, but just the same...  We're talking about the week of July 29-Aug 2, in Raleigh, NC.  We can get dorm rooms for $20/night, one reason it's in NC rather than CA.  Maybe a week is too long and we'll get bored with nothing to do, and should think about picking one day as Snap! Day, but otoh the airfare doesn't seem so expensive if it's for a week instead of a day. 

If everyone were coming to Barcelona it'd be different, but hardly anyone can do that.

So, am I crazy or what?

Glad to see I'm not the only one with a nonretina MacBook Pro… I missed it by a month!

Happy Birthday

Now modify it to support notification center!

Doesn't it guzzle internet? I think a menubar app may be better (I can already see the stylized "S" character on my menu bar.)

Wait, have we been through this and I've forgotten?  Will you be here before May 9 or after May 27?  Why oh why did you(r parents) have to pick the month I'm in Japan?

Actually, the trip fits neatly between those two dates.

Man, you're going to be 90 years old before I finally meet you, at this rate.
