This was a delightful stroll down memory lane.
The use of the word “artifacts,” however, makes me feel super old. I still remember some Strong Bad Emails as if I saw them last week.
This was an interesting read about the history of computer science education.
It brought me back to my high school experience in the early 1990’s. In its curriculum course catalog, the school advertised an Introduction to Computer Science class. I was looking forward to taking the course once I had some room in my schedule for electives. I signed up for the class each year I could and was disappointed each year when told that the class wouldn’t be offered. While I don’t remember the precise reasons given for not offering the advertised class, I do remember feeling like the answers were not satisfactory.
Alas… I’m glad comp sci education is more accessible these days.

I am proud to say that I am a Proton subscriber. I’m also glad that my paid account helps to subsidize those that need a free one.
Your guide to the iconic fruit. I found it both affirming and challenging. I aspire to one day find a SweeTango.

Sloosha’s Crossin’ an’ Ev’rythin’ After
It’s not everyday that you read something that brings a little clarity to the abortion discourse within the Catholic church. Today was one of those days.
This article (like much of Ginocchio’s writing) is neither for the faint of heart nor those of tender conscience. The commentary is biting, crass, and sprinkled with ad hominem potshots at “fan favorites,” but dammit if it doesn’t make me LOL and re-evaluate what I believe on the regular.
