Since I've lost track of who was supposed to post last Friday, or Monday, or yesterday - and clearly they have as well - I'll re-boot it. Good luck chaps and chapesses!

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Has anyone heard of tynker? Tynker.com
Is this a good way for kids to start learning programming?
Within you lies the power for good - Use it!

Scratch -- same candy, different wrapper.
I found the UI for Scratch to be nearly unusable (positioning blocks to click into place was such a PITA) and while the concept is interesting, at the end of the day I think it's a horrible way to teach programming.
Since you ask -- teaching programming to kids should be about creative ways to get from point A to point B, rather than using some archaic BASIC-like syntax to glue things together. In other words, teaching programming should not be taught by computers!

That's why I won't teach my kid (if she actually want it) any language, but logical thinking or algorithms in pseudocode.

Another vote for Scratch[^].
I also strongly recommend buying the Makeblock mBot V1.1[^] programmable robot kit for any budding programmer. It uses a Scratch-like programming language and is very rewarding introduction to programming.

An election I want to call soon
I don't give a stuff

Of voting, for me it's a boon.

What the hell did I just read?
It leaves my brain in dire need.
I realize you don't give a stuff.
But, why post here all your fluff?

Politics is just a scam
They herd you and smoke you like ham
They all fight to get higher
Every one's just a liar
And, frankly, I don't give a damn
