I know you run Django for your site(s)... How do you handle the blog part? I've been unimpressed with django blog plugins, but maybe I haven't found the right one.

The real-time collaboration of this looks cool. I don't understand what the dinosaur (or now penis) has to do with it. I can't make those colors... where did those come from?
I made something called Sketch-a-bit (for Android) [http://sketchabit.adamsmith.as/] that's a charcoal-like sketching interface that has you start from someone else's drawing instead of a blank canvas. It's been alive for about 3 years and it's interesting to trace back the history of awesome sketches (http://sketchabit.adamsmith.as/master.php) and see how they evolved. Collaborative along the long-term dimension instead of all in parallel.

This book, "What the Dormouse Said: How the Sixties Counter culture Shaped the Personal Computer Industry" is by the same guy who wrote the NYT obit with "the most facile interpretation of Engelbart" headline. It goes into far more depth about Engelbart's goals of augmenting human intellect.

P.S. I'm trying to figure out what learning-to-code resources adults who don't yet code would be in to, or where you'd tell your non-programmer friends to start if they expressed an interest.
Fill out this survey! http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/RCP98L5 Or write it out in the comments!

wat.
That's like saying no one should learn to draw because they might draw better than a "real" artist. Or no one should learn woodworking because they saw a nice table once but they'll never fully understand it and they'll build shitty things. I don't get the point of this article at all.
Coding is a craft! A really powerful, accessible, incredibly-sharable craft.
