Until December 13
the Hour of Code
an event created
by the non-profit Code.org
to encourage instructors
to give each of their students
one hour of time
learning computer science
is in progress.
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos
did a rare Tweet
offering to send Donald Trump
into space
after Trump Tweeted
that Bezos
was using his purchase
of The Washington Post
as a tax shelter
for the online store.
Bezos may already
have a rocket
through his private space company
Blue Origin
but in this case
maybe a world of kids
each with one line of C
or one neuron
of a rocket's brain
at a time
are the future
(and maybe so are
some bankrupt
Trump space hotels).
