I went to university for computer science up until the pandemic started. It was great. I remember working on so many projects that were basic but a lot of fun and others that were a lot more complex but still fun and rewarding. For example, one of the staples of beginner projects is Conway's Game of Life. I remember building that in HTML, CSS, and Java Script. One of my other favorite projects was a website for alum to visit to see alumni news and events, and also to lookup other alum.
What were your favorite projects when learning to code?

I got teary eyed when my 5yo asked me about how baleen whales feed the other day, and I showed him a video narrated by David.
Just today I saw another great video from David. There will never be another like him (edit: David, not my kid), which is the saddest part of this post.
