[racket] FYI: A new Racket-powered startup

A fun  example:

One of the suggestions from a Racketeer was to pixelate John McCarthy:

YouPatch takes the original image and allows the user to create a pixelated
version, but more significantly generates a PDF with a shopping list of
fabrics, plus the diagrams and cutting and assembly instructors needed for
a patchwork quilter to create a snuggly work of art. ;-)
