Brother Mitchel, famous MIT professor. Exploring Emergence is a very cool interactive essay he did to introduce the type of concepts he teaches. His current project is Scratch, a site that offers a free, kid-friendly programming language (suitable for creating games, art, music, and animation). Scratch allows users to share their creations a la YouTube.
