...Speaking of aging hippies . . .<br /><br />Nice to be back.<br /><br />82 on the kerning test. I'm disappointed. The first job I ever had printed was typset on a linotype machine which if you have never seen or been around one is one of the great contraptions of the mid 20th century. I should have done better.<br /><br />Loved the sticky thing.<br /><br />Thanks.Francis Shivonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17211824074217323164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3260056830686404550.post-2322565227634572592011-11-05T13:16:53.707-06:002011-11-05T13:16:53.707-06:00I learned about Scratch in the wake of BoS.

Two guys shared the award by saying that they didn't really need another computer so why not donate it to a school. Which they did and more - got an attendee to work with 5th graders on programming. In the wake of that, someone mentioned Scratch. Long story.<br /><br />Ms. McCarthy was just on Millionaire Matchmaker (I was just passing thru the room, honest) coaching some rich dude on how to flirt or something. Regardless, the whole non-controversy about vaccinations makes me wonder what else aging hippies are going to decry next. <br /><br />Whatever turns you on, dude.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06038956427789115440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3260056830686404550.post-67257863712891310522011-11-05T13:11:32.452-06:002011-11-05T13:11:32.452-06:00My kids love Scratch - even more than PowerPoint. ...My kids love Scratch - even more than PowerPoint. <br /><br />Re: vaccination. Unfortunately, we see a lot of that going on as people in our community latch onto the messages from celebrities like Dr. Jenny McCarthy, M.D. (for example). Whooping cough and measles are starting to be more common (with a recent outbreak in Friday Harbor). It irks the asapiophobe in me.<br /><br />Thank you for the girl moaning IP address.
