Mark Funk's Blog

I have been volunteering as part of the Rochester CoderDojo project at the YMCA. As part of that, I have had the opportunity to show elementary and middle school students how to program. The beginner subject for that teaches what is essentially the essence of programming via a tool produced by MIT called Scratch. I like to bring in a new example program, something they could potentially do for each class. This time, I produced a valentine. You can find it here.... A Valentine to My Wife. Go check it out.

Use this to find MIT's Scratch tool for your self.

Enjoy.

As many of you know, I tend to create picture collages for many of the sets of digital pictures I take.  When I do, I print them for my own library of collages and make them available at that time to many of you.  It seems that now I have nearly 170 of such collages residing on my own computer (which is backed up).   As a further back up, I thought I'd keep copies of them on my web server, and, having done so, make them available via the web to you folks as well.

So, you can find sets of 8 larger thumbnails of them at this site.... http://mrfunk.info/Collages/Collage.html .  From here you can page through these sets of thumbnails and then see large versions by clicking on thumbnail of your choosing.

Enjoy.

You can find a screen show of wedding pictures here: http://mrfunk.info/Wedding/Wedding.html

This represents my first post to my own blog. During this session, I added a few links to papers I had written concerning some pretty esoteric stuff, but of real interest to me ...

• Shared Memory Clusters
• IBM White Papers
• Capability Addressing
