That one makes my head hurt too :-) Glad to hear you say that about Second Life too, Jason. That one makes my head hurt too :-)

But I probably got it quicker as I do Flash ActionScript and web design (both relatively simple stuff compared to actual programming). But still, I can't make heads or tails of the UI in Second Life for creating objects... Oh well, I’m still really impressed with Pipes.

I've been back three times since this was first announced, and it's just too hard. Tim O'Reilly said it was programming for the masses. I got excited about that. But now it feels less like programming for the mass and more like masses of programming. The idea is hugely compelling to me. That's why I keep going back, hoping I can figure it out. Sure, I can copy someone else's application, but there's no fun in that. Guess I'll have to wait for someone to come up with the dummies version. My head hurts, too.

And I hope someone puts together some that I can use, because I wandered around in Pipes for awhile this morning trying to figure out how to do it and it made my head hurt, so I stopped :-) I think you are probably right, Anne.
