<p><a img src="http://www.theoldrobots.com/images40/tasman8.JPG" alt="image of an early robot, dome shaped with small wheels and markers in it's center to draw shapes"height="150px"></a>When I was four years old, my father brought home a programmable turtle robot. It could draw different shapes in different colors using different color markers in it's belly.<br> | |
My father told me that if I wanted to tell the turtle to draw I had to learn it's own language, LOGO. <br><br> | |
So I did, because I really wanted it to draw giant shapes for me on the large butcher paper my dad had laid out in the kitchen (<strong>it could draw shapes better than me!</strong>).</p> | |
<p>Little did I know this would lead to more coding in future days...but not more turtles! | |

<h2 id="basic">The BASIC days...</h2> | |
<p> | |
In high school, had a lot of free time on my hands, so I was always taking<em> "extra"</em> classes. One of those <em>"extra" </em>classes was computer programming (this was in the early,<em> early </em>90's). | |
<br><br> | |
At that time computer programming meant learning the BASIC programming language. Learning that language, I built a mortgage calculator for my final project. (Not <em>exactly</em> high school interests, but definitely my teacher's!) | |
<br><br> | |
And, unbeknownst to me, on the horizon would be Excel pivot tables and Access databases. But that excitement is for next time! | |
