Programming has become really bureaucratic and boring, hasn't it?
My goal is to try to make programming fun again. The kind of fun of the 1980's Creative Computing Magazine or the graphics mode in Q-Basic. Remember those days?
Alright, maybe you're too young. Let's say Geocities, DOOM mods and 2600 magazine, what about those?
Oh, I see. Alright, what about MySpace skins? Arduino? Lego Mindstorms? LOGO on an Apple ][? TI-82 Basic? Any of this?
"Chris", you say, "This is the past. Ever since big finance took over tech nobody cares about computers any more...All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain."
So is it time for fun to die?
No! Fun is critical! It is the engine of our imagination!
Let's bring back the dreams of a better tomorrow; get people imagining about the possibility of a better world once again. The Future, now more than ever.
