Alan C. Kay and Squeak are coming to town in August

is the name for the newest of the Smalltalk dialects. Dr. Alan C. Kay, visionary whose Dynabook presaged new media today and inventor of the computer mouse is going to address Columbia College Chicago's commencement. Dr. Kay has always sought to develop computing as an educational mode and for 30 years has been interested in how kids learn, or could learn with the right tools. I'll be interviewing Kay today, and writing about for Ohmynews.com. Oh, and not to forget, good luck to all the graduates.
