Robin Linacre: Letterpaths – free software for teaching cursive writing. “I have developed a free and open source library called letterpaths, to help my kids with their handwriting.

On this day in 1942, Anne Frank received her first diary for her 13th birthday. On the cover page, she wrote: 'I hope I will be able to confide everything to you, as I have never been able to confide in anyone, and I hope you will be a great source of comfort and support." When she went into hiding during the Holocaust, her diary was one of the first items she packed.
