I was in a similar boat. I was already programming in qbasic when I was around 14-15, but went to a standard high school. Math had always been my strong point, but I lost interest and my grades suffered. It was then very difficult to catch up because I wasn't learning whatever I needed to learn throughout the year.
I did however excel at the programming course we had. I loved going to the computer lab and trying stuff out. This school would have been awesome if it was around when I was in school. It would have been a perfect fit.

Or the producers of television see this as a way to not deal with the networks and still get their show distributed to people, and the networks find themselves without good television to put on the air.

This article has tons of gold in it besides the "don't call yourself a programmer" part. I actually thought the paragraphs past that were better, especially for the younger crowd. I want to send this post to every kid that's about to graduate college.

This is the same problem I have with this approach. It seems like a cool idea, but I don't want to break accessibility. I think you can get around this using aria and having it skip over that element.
See aria-hidden:

I was thinking something similar to this last night. Google+ unifies the product set. Even the new Google mobile web is unified and easier to get around now. I can see it pulling me into products that I don't really use much just because it's more convenient.
