Is this the card you chose? (k3nshi)

For the past week I have been trying to recall the name of a domain specific (ie specialized) programming language. Sure I tried smacking up my twin sniff bitches Google and Yahoo with related terms (ok, ok snoopist: "graphical programming language"). This yielded lots of irrelevant links. I tried checking out websites where I was sure I had first heard of said language. Nada.

Of course, I gave up at this point. It wasnt a super critical thing, just something I might have been able to use to knock up some fun designs. With that in mind, I just shrugged it off - walked away the Bigger Man.

This morning I received a number of books, some geeky, some (ok one) not geeky. 10 minutes ago I picked up the book "Best Software Writing 1: Selected and Introduced by Joel Spolsky". Its a nice book, a collection of essays about software (no really, its fun). One of the best things about the book is that most of the essays are short; web article/blog post size because 99% of the content is available for free on the web, in exactly that form (the last 1% being Spolsky's intro to each essay). So I flipped open the book just now, and lo and behold, the essay I flipped to talks about the precisely the graphics language I was looking for and has the URL for it.

AMAZING.
