Seymour Papert in a coma after traffic accident December 20, 2006 - by Ian Bogost Seymour Papert, constructionist learning pioneer and inventor of the Logo programming language is in a coma after being struck by a motorcycle in Hanoi, Vietnam. The Boston Globe has a more detailed story. I'm not sure why I haven't seen broader coverage of this story, but I hadn't seen it before. (via Cindy) Comment from andrewstern on December 21, 2006
