Another take on this that might interest you is my intention to 
revive a Fabrik-like system in Squeak (see 
http://users.ipa.net/~dwighth/smalltalk/Fabrik/Fabrik.html).  This is 
another thing that did not work out while we were at Disney.  The 
idea is just to make it really simple to do little "computational 
sketches" in Squeak, whether with wires or with little 
spreadsheet-like tables, and with probably some overlap with Morphic 
Wrappers.  My metaphor for this is to turn any pen computer into the 
proverbial "back of an envelope" for simple calculations.  It could 
then be married to some of the very cool parts of eToys, or possibly 
into a cool web scripting system.  For the latter I have in mind a 
different marriage to, eg, screen-scraping and Flash components, but 
this would require help from others.

At any rate, as soon as I have something that's at least fun to play 
with, I'll put it out for others to play with.

Regards
