Summer of Code

Bubbles rise up beside me, 
and the lips of a clownfish pucker between my eyes.
He mocks me,
And then runs back to his anemone.

Oh, sure, he's used to this.
The deep water is his home.
His gills pull oxygen from fluid,
but I am drowning alone.

The sharks circle a short distance away.
When I give up, they'll feast on my bones.
They know I have no life boat,
They know no rescue comes.

The bubbles shiver and float to the surface.
I shiver and despair.
A storm may rage above us,
but it will not mat my hair

for I am sinking,
in the deep blue green

Math And Programming

This is article 2 in the Web Programming for Kids series.

Have you ever heard someone say, “You have to be good at math to be a computer programmer?” Well, if you heard that and it made you feel nervous, or like you could never learn to program computers, I want to tell you right now that you do NOT have to be good at arithmetic to be a computer programmer. In fact, many programmers have troubles remembering their multiplication tables. Yeah, really, it’s true. Take me for instance, I’m miserable at arithmetic!

Hello!

So, you want to learn how to program a computer, huh? That’s cool. Check this out, I’ve been programming since I was 8 years old. Now I’m a mom and my oldest son has been programming since he was 9.
