Advocacy and Policy Analysis for the Computing Research Community This is a place for things that don’t warrant a full post on the Computing Research Policy Blog. News articles without our usual pithy analysis, photos, quotes, event notices — you can find them all here.

An animation program called “Alice,” invented by the late Randy Pausch of Carnegie Mellon University, allows student programmers of all ages to create their own worlds without realizing they’re actually writing code.http://computingresearchpolicy.tumblr.com/post/129024912http://computingresearchpolicy.tumblr.com/post/129024912Tue, 23 Jun 2009 20:24:23 -0400<a href="http://www.mercurynews.com/business/ci_12603563?nclick_check=1">O'Brien: Gap between boys and girls persists in tech - San Jose Mercury News</a>http://computingresearchpolicy.tumblr.com/post/124922002http://computingresearchpolicy.tumblr.com/post/124922002Tue, 16 Jun 2009 21:47:07 -0400<a href="http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/06/03/the-nations-cto-lays-out-his-priorities/?hp">The Nation’s C.T.O.
