This week in compsci went pretty well. I got a 97 on the test, which is very good considering I'd been having some trouble with Scratch lately. I'm glad to be moving on to Alice. I like how it offers much more freedom in terms of what you can create with characters and such. It's nice to be done with Scratch after all the frustration it caused me :P
I was on my Google Reader and I came across this story: http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2010/09/kuiper-belt-dust/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+wired/index+(Wired:+Index+3+(Top+Stories+2))
It's about how a small hole in the dust surrounding our solar system could tell "aliens" that planets exist around us. Although this seemed slightly frightening to me at first, I began to think about how unlikely it is that any other beings in the universe have figured out space travel. It is also unlikely that any of them could have figured out a way to travel so far as to reach our solar system. So even though this bit of news may seem amazing and a little disconcerting at the same time, I don't think it is a very big deal.
