Scratch, a beginner's programming language

Chocolate Pickle — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 09:56:02 -0800

Scratch is a programming language designed for kids. Programs are created by hooking together jigsaw-puzzle pieces, which are keyed in such a way that it is impossible to create a syntactically incorrect program. Via this guy, who includes a sample program and talks about how his nine year old daughter learned and used the language.

Sam Kieth is an interesting guy, coming from an artistic family (including a cousin who created the animated series Cow and Chicken). His professional work has mostly been in the world of comics, though he did direct a movie for Roger Corman, entitled "Take it to the Limit" (2000), as a way "to recharge [his] batteries after the Maxx." The Maxx was a 35 issue comic (plus a few bonuses), and later animated and aired on Mtv's Oddities in the mid 1990s. (More videos inside) Only officially released in part on VHS, and now slowly re-appearing as fragments of the original episodes on MTV2 Legit, most of the 13 episodes can be found on YouTube. Unfortunately, the mix of the YouTube runtime limit and clips taken down due to copyright claims has lead to incomplete episodes, so this list includes redundancy for the sake of completeness. * Episode 1, part 2 * Episode 2 (alternate link, alt vers. 2) * Episode 3 part 1 (pulled) part 2 (alternate link) * Episode 4 part 1 (part 2 was pulled) (alternate link, alt vers. 2) * Episode 5 part 1 (pulled), part 2 (alternate link, alt vers. 2) * Episode 6, part 2 (alternate link, alt vers. 2) * Episode 7, part 2 (alternate link, alt vers. 2) * Episode 8, part 2 (alternate link) * Episode 9, part 2 (alternate link, alt vers. 2) * Episode 10, part 2 (alternate link, alt vers. 2) * Episode 11, part 2, part 3, part 4 (alternate link pt. 1, pt. 2; alt pt 1 vers. 2, alt pt 2 vers. 2) * Episode 12, part 2 (alternate link) * Episode 13, part 2 (alternate link, alt vers. 2) More fun: A review of Mage in 2008, with very informative comments An incomplete summary of the 35 issues of The Maxx, plus Issue 1/2, and the 3 Friends of Maxx issues The Sam Kieth-ification of Ojo Kieth on Scratch A look at Kieth's newest comic, titled My Inner Bimbo, which was delayed from it's 2006/07 release

The Itch: The New Yorker's suprisingly interesting Annals of Medicine article which includes the story of a woman whose scalp itched so badly she scratched through it. And then through her skull.
