Happy Purim - Friday - Edition

Hello!

OK, for those of you who don't know .... PURIM - "a-not-in-the-Torah(bible)-festival" that celebrates Jewish survival (The ancient Persian Empire was "out to get us"....) against all odds.  Without getting into details, the day is celebrated by dressing up in costume, hearing the Megillat (scroll/story) of Esther, giving gifts of food and money to the poor, and having a celebration.  Part of the celebration is doing "silly things" or telling "silly stories."

Now, with this in mind, I found a "FOR REAL TECH STORY" that is so silly that I had to share it on the Friday before Purim (which is on Sunday this year).  Read the article and then imagine doing what it describes in your school......  Cyborg programming here we come!!!

Also, I leave you with a picture of me "in-costume."  I am supposed to be a "Computer Server!"  :-)

Regards....
