Apparently Ta-Nehisi Coates and I have a psychic link, because we have the same thoughts at the same time. But don’t take my word for it, take the words I cut and pasted from our conversation:

D: … “Study shows blacks don’t share similar views of world”…. Now I’m not sure what I feel, but seriously — that 39 million people don’t all agree is headline news? This needed studying rather than talking to 2 or more people? ….

T-N C: “haha! yeah you had about the same reaction i would. i’m posting about this right now.” [same link as above]

D: “I look forward to it. But I have to warn you, some whites may not. I’m not sure how well known it is, but often whites don’t all have similar views.”

T-N C: “lol”

I spent an hour or two playing with Scratch a programming environment for kids. It’s infuriatingly difficult to re-use code (there are no functions for instance), no arrays, no network connectivity, and no external files.

But isn’t this awesome? (use the arrow keys to drive once it has focus, the green flag may start it)
