    My daughter read a book about Ada Lovelace, which generated
    discussion about Alan Turing, which generated discussions about
    computers, which showed me how much kids not only don’t know about
    computers, but how unlikely they are to understand <i>the guts
    underneath the icons</i>.

    Over the weekend, I completed my personal hack-a-thon on a project
    to <a href="http://www.floraabrams.com/ada">demonstrate the depths of a computer</a>, but in a simpler way.
    I may give it to my after school computer club that I run at a local
    middle school.

    Pretty simple as my entire assembly language parser was written as a
    single <code>reduce</code> function.
