Greetings! Today was the second day of Summer at rit FOSS. I finally got to install and use Sugar, the desktop environment originially developed by Sugar labs for the XO laptops in OLPC program. I remember long ago I first heard about them from watching 60 minutes with my dad back when I was still in high school. Here's the url to the original article:

Geez, it's already been 6 years since then. Well, that was the first time I considered not having a computer with windows on it. I would have bought an XO laptop then, until I noticed that I only had half the money required at the time. they were $200 each, but to buy one you have to buy another for a child somewhere out in the world, doubling the amount.

Regardless, now I have the ability and opportunity to make a difference and develop the Sugar platform and its programs, and I wouldn't have had either back then. I played Lemonade Stand today and killed it, making enough money for the games negative effects to not even make a dent in my product supply. I spoke with my teammates about possible badges and additional features to the game, and took a long look at the code. As the only non-IGM major in our group, I'm eager to show my expertise in the raw programming going on behind the scenes. I wanna show just how many lemons I am worth. Link Related, it's the opening screen from Lemonade Stand:
