Tonight I spent the evening showing my son how to program a teleporter in Minecraft. Teleporters require coordinates to work. So the exchange went something like this:

Me: You are here. It is represented as [x, y, z] which is [-219, 54, 453].
Son: Ok!
Me: So, where are you?
Son: Here. (points to screen)
Me: No! Where are you in space?
Son: I’m not in space, I’m on the ground.
Me: No! What are your coordinates?
Son: Oh, it’s [x, y, z].
Me: No! What are your number coordinates, in space?
Son: Oh, it’s [-219, 54, 453]. But I want to teleport over there.
Me: But over there needs coordinates. That is [-200, 55, 450] and here is [-219, 54, 453].
Son: Ok, I got it!

We looked up how to enable the debugger, and this opened up a whole new world for him. All the coordinates appeared in realtime, so I think he’s going to go crazy building teleporters this weekend.

Today the price of one Bitcoin exceeded the price of one share of Google stock (GOOG). I fondly remember buying Bitcoin at $5.00, thinking it was so expensive!

Just a few days ago I posted that Bitcoin crossed the $450 mark. Now it’s hovering above $600. I’m not going to call this a bubble. But I would think we are due for a correction in the other direction soon. There are a ton of people waiting to get some.
