This is the one

August 8th, 2010

Parents should by these for their kids if they want them to grow up to be Computer Scientists…

Got Something To Say:

Your email address will not be published. Required fields are marked *

    This will be displayed in a monospaced font. The first four 
    spaces will be stripped off, but all other whitespace
    will be preserved.
    
    Markdown is turned off in code blocks:

To create not a block, but an inline code span, use backticks: 

Here is some inline `code`.
