As I write this, there are a number of wildfires in Western Oregon, particularly in the Porltand/Salem area and east of those areas. Wildfires are a typical part of Oregon summer and early fall, but these fires have been aggravated by strong winds coming out of Canada. I took the following pictures at 9:00am Wednesday 9/9/2020, it is pretty eerie outside. The winds have died down, but the smell of smoke is strong. The third picture shows ash collecting on one of our trees. No going for a walk today, that’s for sure!

In this episode, Andy answers John’s’ question about what writing tools he uses in his (personal) work. Andy asks and answers a new question – what is your take on “learning to code”? I am including several links on this topic:
Jeff Atwood – Please Don’t Learn To Code
Jeff Atwood – Learning To Code Is Overrated
Hadi Partovi – Computer Science is Foundational (TED Talk)
Ali Partovi – Learning to Code is Not Just for Coders (TED Talk)
Code.Org – Description/goals of the organization
Hour of Code – Resources to teach basics of coding within an hour
Finally, I include a link to a post about wildfires in Western Oregon (close to my house!)…
