I just heard about Papert's tragic accident. Thankfully, what I am reading suggests that his condition is improving.

Papert is the father of the Logo programming language which, apart from being the first programming language I learned, is one of the most important attempts to use computers, and programming in particular, in education.

Flowers for Seymour is an attempt to create a virutal flower album to provide emotional support for Papert and his family. This is a nice gesture, and I hope the LtU community will contribute to it. The album includes only a few flower images created in Logo, which is a shame. It would be nice to see more images created using the wonderful tool Papert gave us.

Our prayers are with Seymour Papert and his family.
