Learning To Code

Leaves

The future belongs to those who create. And creating isn’t limited or bounded by the ability to program or code.[fusion_builder_container hundred_percent="yes" overflow="visible"][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type="1_1" background_position="left top" background_color="" border_size="" border_color="" border_style="solid" spacing="yes" background_image="" background_repeat="no-repeat" padding="" margin_top="0px" margin_bottom="0px" class="" id="" animation_type="" animation_speed="0.3" animation_direction="left" hide_on_mobile="no" center_content="no" min_height="none"][Randy Murray](http://whowritesforyou.com/2013/07/16/not-every-child-needs-to-learn-how-to-code/)

I fully agree. I learned to code on my own in early high-school. I enjoy writing code now as much as I enjoyed it back then. But I've also learned to create art via [my photography](http://khurtwilliams.com). Learning to code didn't help with that.[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]

Diabetes Art : D-Blog Week Day 6

2013 Diabetes Blog Week Topics & Posts by Karen Graffeo (bittersweetdiabetes.com)

This year Diabetes Art moves up from the Wildcard choices as we all channel our creativity with art in the broadest sense. Do some “traditional” art like drawing, painting, collage or any other craft you enjoy. Or look to the literary arts and perhaps write a d-poem or share and discuss a favorite quote. Groove to some musical arts by sharing a song that inspires you diabetes-wise, reworking some song lyrics with a d-twist, or even writing your own song. Don’t forget dramatic arts to college you can create a diabetes reality show or play. These are just a starting point today – there are no right or wrong ways to get creative!

I took a photo of my finger while testing my BG. I ran the iPhone 5 photo through two apps. One is called Tiny Planets. The other is called Picturesque.

I had hoped to create something more profound but this is all I had the energy to produce.

… the iPad is quickly becoming the only “computer” many people need, and it’s going to be a much better experience than it ever was on a computer. It’s this 1.5 pound notebook-sized thing that you can pull out anywhere, anytime, and write, create art, take and edit photos and video, or make music. You don’t have to worry about drivers or viruses or defragmenting the hard drive or any of that other computer crap you had to think about before. All you have to do is create. Or just watch a movie.

I need Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and a few other “big” apps (I use those on an iMac) but my iPad has become a laptop replacement for me. I’ve been laptop free for since the original iPad was released.
