Yes Virginia, There Is A Santa Claus.

Of course there is a Santa Claus! He's the one who takes the reindeer out, jumps down chimneys without breaking his back, and has enough appetite to eat ten billion cookies! ... Never mind that you can find reindeer at your local zoo. Or the fact your parents woke up with cookie crumbs on their lips on Christmas Day. Santa Claus does exist, I tell you!

The above meme was actually introduced to us yesterday, courtesy of Mr. Arkin. But only remembering today, I read about it just now. The whole editorial was really interesting... so I decided to write a little "response" if you may. The writer of the editorial has some really interesting points. You should check it out.

Back to Headquarters news. Today we didn't do any work on the computers; instead, we sat down to discuss and come up with a hybrid copy of Input Assignment #4: an Average Speed Calculator. There was much talk going on for the whole period between my group members and me. We spent the entire period working on making the most perfect copy of the program possible. Afterward, Mr. Arkin gave us a few pointers as to how to make our "supposed-perfect" programs even better/more efficient.

For homework, we were to go home and perfect our own assignments in Turing, based on what we'd talked about today. I finished that pretty easily, thus this generally early post.

Now I'm off to go make my friend a birthday card—it's her birthday Thursday, and her party on Saturday! So I'm off... good night!

  1. Hey, I read that article (about Santa Claus) last Christmas. It was featured on google, or howthingswork.com. I can't remember which. Anyways, shouldn't it be, "My pet rock ate m my homework!" Just joking, :)
