I finished my Hour of Code tonight on the code.org website. Code.org is an interactive, extended tutorial that teaches users how to begin to learn to code. It is elegant! It is probably accessible to virtually anyone--kids and seniors all included! It is a joint brainchild of several sharp people supported by many of the big names in computing and technology. In an hour (or so), the user is introduced to a visual, structured set of coding puzzles that introduce the fundamentals of writing code. Again, it is elegant and well done! I'm curious, now, to see what else is available beyond this introductory module.

I'm continuing to mow my way through MI-5 episodes. The rain halted today and made it enticing to get outside more, but MI-5 has my attention. I think I'm starting to see elements from the series appearing in my dreams. The show was really well done--heavily researched and tightly written with a lot of slick video and effects. Makes me want to have been a spy--supposedly my natural inclination according to my Myers-Briggs reports. Perhaps in another life!

SD is here today through Wednesday. It's his 60th birthday today. His mother, MD, who is 97, found him a ride from where he lives (about an hour away) and back, so he could spend a few days here. He's a voracious eater and she had to make a special grocery run to stockup for his visit. If not sleeping, they are watching some of the Olympics.

I'm getting drowsy. Between all of the MI-5 I watched and my Hour of Code episode, I'm starting to fade. Let there be fading? Or rage, rage against the dying of the light. Good night! Sleep tight! Don't let the ruffalumpia bite! (Assuming that they can!)
