+I had a chance to hear 
+[Alan Kay](http://www.viewpointsresearch.org/alan.html)
+talk during a visit to HP Labs a week or so ago.  Among other things, it
+motivated me to finally sit down and have a look at 
+[Squeak](http://www.squeakland.org).
+
+I'd heard [Ted Kaehler](http://www.squeak.org/us/ted/) and others talk 
+about it.  I have fond memories of playing with Smalltalk at various times 
+in the past, starting when I was an undergrad at CMU.  I know the 
+folks in Extremadura include Squeak in the systems they deploy in schools, 
+and I even came home from Malaga with a CD containing their packages!  But
+I just hadn't ever gotten around to actually doing anything with Squeak.  
+
+Now I have... and even better, so have my kids.  ;-)  
+In fact, while I think I understand
+what's actually going on better, my daughter now has spent much more time 
+playing with eToys than I have.  I'm really curious to see how far she
+goes with this...
