Marcus: Computer Programming with Khan Academy

After recently switching his topic from the 1960s, Marcus is currently teaching himself computer programming via "Intro to J.S.:  Drawing &​ Animation" on Khan Academy (@khanacademy).  A "not-for-profit with the goal of changing education for the better by providing a free world-class education for anyone anywhere," Khan Academy was created in 2006 by educator Salman Khan.  The online learning portal literally contains thousands of educational resources, including a personalized learning dashboard, over 100,000 practice problems, and over 6,000 micro lectures.

What deliciously innovative programs might Marcus create and explore over the next year...?

Micki: Neil Harbisson's "I Listen to Color" (2012)

Undoubtedly, inspired by her tutoring work and by her explorations into color phenomena during last year's installment of IP, Micki is currently considering a sort of technological synesthesia via the TED Talk below.  Perhaps a "colorful" poetry reading or song is forthcoming...?

"Artist Neil Harbisson (@NeilHarbisson) was born completely color blind, but these days a device attached to his head turns color into audible frequencies. Instead of seeing a world in grayscale, Harbisson can hear a symphony of color — and yes, even listen to faces and paintings."
