Recently I’ve been a tad annoyed at the criticisms of the Sugar interface to the laptops in the One Laptop per Child project (OLPC). The developers chose to forgo the desktop metaphor as the kids over there in the third world don’t even have desks or files or anything like that. Instead they [...]

I love this particular strip because of the crazy circular logic involved to keep yourself sane if [...]

(I’m writing this on the 21 around midnight, but I have a lot of posts coming up so I time-shifted this to the 24th)
