Tumblr's actually way bigger than a lot of people realize. All my coworkers' teen kids have tumblrs, even the dumb ones.

I'm not gonna claim that every kid is a computer whiz and yeah I'm sure most of them use it as A Facebook And Instagram Appliance but I feel that the proportion of kids that are computer literate enough to at least know what programming realistically entails and have been exposed to it in some way (though not necessarily wrote something themselves) is much higher than you seem to think, and way way higher than even a few years ago.

most kids know how to google something and then copy and paste it to their own page.

quote:

MakerBot, the company that became a leading voice in desktop 3D printing by taking desktop additive manufacturing from build-it-yourself kits to refined consumer devices, has just let go of 20% of its workforce and closed its brick-and-mortar stores.

According to reporting by Motherboard, the reduction represents about 100 employees of the Brooklyn-based company that launched in 2009 and was later purchased in 2013 by industrial 3D printing giant Stratasys for $403 million. During that time, the company has made changes of original and key personnel, most recently seeing founder and CEO Bre Pettis stepping down to take a new position with Stratasys, and his successor Jenny Lawton doing the same thing.

wonder what the odds are that one of the serial ada litigants have already requested a ride, felt "humiliation, embarrassment, and emotional distress", and are just letting it sit for a bit to let memories of who they were fade in the minds of the bus driver and other passengers before filing their lawsuit.

probably nearing 100%

someobody who had secret santa with keygen looked him up and there was a dude from where he lived with his name with a memorial facebook. thats all i know, and i forget who posted it so its second, well, maybe third hand from me. maybe they made it up. maybe they collaborated with him to fake his forums death. or maybe he had a relapse or some other tragedy befall him and died? not sure. but i wish him well, wheveer he is.

hey i'm actually starting to get a bit worried about CISADMIN PRIVILEGE, does anyone know what's up with him? he hasn't posted in two months, and when i googled his name and town (he and i exchanged some little gifty things a few years back) i got someone from the same town with the same name whose facebook has been changed to "Remembering $NAME" fairly recently. if anyone knows enough to follow up on that, it would be nice to know he's okay
