Are you the same Don Hopkins who ported SimCity?

Yep. Spot and I hung out together at CMU, when he was working with Andy Witkin doing amazing graphics stuff, and I was working with Brad Myers doing Lisp user interface stuff. That was when I finally bit the bullet and learned X-Windows so I could hate it better, and started porting SimCity from NeWS to TCL/Tk. (The unix-haters X-Windows chapter was the result of that.)

If you press the "up arrow" key when you see something you like, the current sheep is sent off to pasture to shag, so its silent lambs will inherit the earth.

Reminds me of the process used to build the most wanted and unwanted song. The most wanted song is a terribly cheesy pop song, the most unwanted song is a bizarre mishmash that is kind of interesting to listen to.
