I come back to Logo probably once every 2 years, for about 15 years now. First used it in primary (elementary) school but never really progressed past spirographs.

I think I'll fire it up again this weekend - any hints?

Something more than a weekend splurge:

Turtle Geometry: The Computer as a Medium for Exploring Mathematics

http://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Geometry-Mathematics-Artificial...

...and I've not yet tried it, but netlogo sounds interesting.

I haven't used it years unfortunetly. Fractals where fun in logo. Making coastlines was always fun too.
