TIL that Tron was written by Alan Kay's wife. That adds so many new dimensions to that movie, and makes 'I fight for the users' even *more* appropriate as a slogan.

Digi & Geoff fighting is like Grant Morrison & Alan Moore fighting. Their criticisms of each other are accurate but comical because they make basically the exact same mistakes.

Nadesco is a cynical mecha parody about how genuine & unironic straight mecha is good & cool actually, because exactly the things that make it cheesy make it valuable. Wholesome themes like solidarity in the face of difficult odds are cheesy because they should be obvious (but aren't).

I regret to inform everybody that Data Privacy Day was actually *last* Monday. We all missed it. Sorry. Honorary Data Privacy Day every Monday for the next 2 years to make up for it, kay?

Unusual core features for a dream language for small computing: MUMPS-style disk persistence of otherwise normal variables indicated by sigils, go-style piping between coroutines or greenthreads, message passing & guards like erlang, parsing backtracking like icon, constraint solving like prolog
The basic reason why we don't have the systems envisioned by Kay, Nelson, Engelbart, etc. is because we have ignored or forgotten the components of the systems those folks actually built that make what they envisioned possible.
