August 20, 2001 Math Is Hard!

Art from computer parts? Since when did Martha Stewart join TSS?

CGI Scripting - a really good segment that deserved more air time. Leo wrote a great article, Simple CGI Scripting, about it, including some information about SSI (server side includes). This was very interesting to me because the introductory book I used to learn Perl/CGI didn't mention anything about it. I've been using Perl scripts to generate entire HTML pages for a different site, and switching to SSI should make things a lot easier to maintain.

Did any of you notice the man in the blue-green jacket sitting on the couch today? That was Steve Wozniak, cofounder of Apple Computers. He currently has his own site at Woz.org.

If you're wondering why Megan has been saying "Math is hard!" lately, she may be referring to the "girl talk" Barbie doll released in the early nineties. It was a talking doll, and one part of its sophisticated repartee was "Math is Hard!" It created a stir in the news about how feminist groups were condemning it for perpetuating the stereotype that women are bad at math and science.
