:) Plenty left to plant. Another patch in another week or two.
No human creation lasts forever, and design does not solve all problems. Those who create and plan should practice humility in the face of nature. Treat nature as a model and mentor, not as an inconvenience to be evaded or controlled.
Making a book is a long process. Luckily the Internet is full of great and mostly free resources to teach your kid (and yourself) programming skills while we wait for little Ruby.
In the list below I've included products I've tried myself. There are books, interactive tutorials, robots, games, apps, and course - so so many great things to try out.
Finding the right product or motivation for your kid is the key. Some kids love making games. Others enjoy writing stories. One little boy I taught got very excited about "hacking" existing websites with Chrome Inspect Element tool. Another girl wanted to learn Java to make Minecraft mods.
You don't need to be a professional developer to get kids started in programming. Many of the products include lightweight curriculums and roadmaps to help the kid learn more. One of the most important qualities of a programmer is the ability to figure out problems. Googling is allowed!
This is not a conclusive list - I'd love to hear more recommendations from you in the comments.
For the smallest ones (5-8)
Hopscotch and Kodable. iPad applications for teaching foundations of programming.
Last night I was awake most of the night. Not from caffeine, either.
Today we went to the airport, and I sat in "Tweety" for the first time. I knew that Lee was asking more than he thought he could get (although I don't know how much more), but its history makes sense, and we have seen how he takes care of it, and Frank has assembled and disassembled it with him, and we would be buying into an already-established setup with the airport and the club. On paper, the SGS 1-34 is what I would like to be flying, with no other sailplanes in the running. Still, I was prepared to back away if the sitting-in-the-cockpit experience was anything but good.
Well, it was good. I am comfortable there, and I can see fine, and I like it.
So, we put down a deposit, and I will be looking into the paperwork to actually make the sale.
Unfortunately, I didn't do it soon enough. The iMac tech support person had me delete all old backups, start again with just a couple, but Parallels filled up the Time Machine disk again. So now, I guess it will keep the old big ones, but maybe it will work.
What I worry about is old stuff that might have gotten corrupted but I don't notice, and the earlier versions are no longer there.
Well, the test version we fixed on the Big November Birthday day was great, but the Thanksgiving version was not. So, next year, it's on the stove you go.
BUT we did figure out there is no reason to ever not fix tater skins.
