I had a bit of a philosophical naval gazing about hoping we get a computing that was more apparently interesting to everyone again, that was engageable. Just over a silly-but-fun Parallax Mountains background generator[1]. I hope you don't mind if I share it, because that carrying a torch for interesting ideas, for letting people learn & see & get hooked & excited is such a great fuel for people.
As another great post, "What You Get Is The World"[2] was on, we need rich material to grow & thrive & gain interest. Tech keeps having repetetive interactions, where the "user" just pushes buttons. It's not really computing, it's an interaction-appliance. I hope we can create a computing where people are allowed to be interested again, where we can see how stuff works, go in & monkey around. I believe that's what it takes to let interests form, to let us keep walking the path to better & better futures.
Thanks for your words, I agree very much. I hope we can feed the roots, make accessible the world, so we can stay interested in it, all be allowed to keep bettering that future. You've done well helping that along, cheers, thanks again.

Interest is the best teacher. I hope it will be better and better in the future.
Such a lovely statement.
