You’ll always be famous in our fishbowl, Daniel. :-) I’m looking forward to testing Shush 2.0 on our little girl in May!

ronin47: You may be right, but I do put my name on my products and my opinions. Your anonymous sniping in my blog comments isn’t a great contribution by any measure.

Easy, Turbo. You’re not really famous for anything.

And being slow to develop for iOS isn’t something to crow about. It’s actually quite silly.

haineux – I have to admit I’m not familiar with how AirPlay is exposed, if at all, via the iOS SDK. Also, your use case is enlightening to me in general. I hadn’t considered the very real value of using Shush in a stereo-amplified capacity.

I think this is attractive and delightful.

Will there be an AirPlay button/menu/device? Once or twice I blasted my home stereo with noise, which is not the end of the world, but, it would be a nice thing if easy to fix.

i know there’s another way to get to the AirPlay button, by double-clicking home and sliding left (twice?) but having a button right there would be nicer, in my opinion.

Then again, I might never need this again, or maybe you prefer not to have another button, or whatever. It’s all pretty good.

Now I have to see if you’ve embedded subliminal messages in the static.

Yeah, it really comes down to what learning to code actually means. I don’t see the world actually needing everyone to be able to sit down with a blank piece of paper and write Firefox, while at the same time the number of people whose lives are improved by being able to hack together a quick bash script is relatively limited. There’s a lot of utility in being able to make a computer dance to your tune but it’s hard to universalise.

I think if you had to point to something that people should learn it’s the systematic, finely detailed way of thinking through problems that programming gives you. You might never need to do something exotic with floating point numbers but you often need to think from A to B .

Its crazy to me that students in school will learn: math, English, physics, chemistry, biology, French, Spanish, geography, history, more math, extra math, and a final dose of math, but most will never, ever learn to use a computer—outside of using a web browser and typing an assignment.

Let alone learn to code.

(@Adam, my recommendation for a “Arduino Uno R3″ via the “adafruit” website is caught in moderation. The intefacing kits are good if you don’t have those parts handy.)
