Future Duck?

Cameron is having fun at Uncle Travis's lab at U of O.

Bet his little brain is spinning!

Cameron at the Office

Cameron came to work with me, created some privacy with an on-end mat, found some entertainment, and didn't bug anyone all day!

(Is this picture diagnostic?)

More Basic Skills

He downloaded a tutorial that is an introduction to visual basic. Actually, he had trouble downloading it because of our parental network controls and sent the following e-mail to his dad. Subject: i hate firewalls. Message:hey dad, could you turn off the firewalls that block downloads? I was trying to download a thing so I could program (and actually save) my programs in basic. but a firewall blocked it. so can you please turn off that firewall at least for a while? thanks for your time. So Michael helped him download his requested materials, and Cameron's brain is whirling (and body twirling). After the first little exercise, he said, "I don't have to type all this! I can do this with a loop!" and off he went. Now he is connecting his loops. All this learned in a very short time, all on his own. I am praying he will have a good 5th grade teacher!

He asked me to put this on Facebook. He was far too busy to waste time on Facebook himself. :)

Basic Skills

This young man is teaching himself to program in Basic. He has made little quiz games, counters, and midi-like music files. All self-taught. He blows me away. (He'll be 10 this week.)
