I'm FROM Bloomington, even though I currently live in Fort Wayne, does
that count? ;-)
I co-teach a Python class with my boss, and we thought: Wouldn't it be
cool to have the kids develop software for the OLPC (since anything
that can (reasonably) be in Python on it, is)? Well, since we also
happen to be the people who make decisions on how Technology money
gets spent, I B2G2'd this morning so we have a couple of development
machines on hand.
The kids seem pretty pumped about it, and they're working on a
Battleship play-alike game for it which they call XOnar (working name,
but pretty clever if you ask me).
Hope they ship out soon!
