I'm going to say: if you can you should go to FOSSY. Just the list of things happening in these last and next couple of days means you should go get that level of discussion. (a) twitter going full walled garden; (b) reddit disabling APIs;

(c) Red Hat changes. Almost all tech discussions are completely missing the point. At FOSSY they won't be - they will be about important ways to think about the world of computing. Plus: Portland in the summer.

Dear social media friends, I will be teaching another programming workshop on January 28 29. We are also beginning to take applications for summer 2023 internships at the Institute, so get started preparing now! Please pass this on to students.

Only prerequisite: knowing how to type (typically 6th grade in the US), but it's hard work as we quickly move on.
Finally: this workshop will be on US-friendly time zone hours, but I am very happy to teach Africa/Europe time zones, or Asian time zones, so let me know...

As you cook today, or as you hang out, makes sure you listen to, or sing, Alice's Restaurant. One nice version is here:

Time for students to start thinking about summer internships where you get paid to work full time on research in your area of interest.
If you are (or someone you know is) in 10th, 11th, or 12th grade, please look at the Institute for Computing in Research: [link on next tweet]
