Quaran-thoughts 1

I'm taking classes half remote, half in-person, and I'm finding that the remote classes are really efficient. I can jump from one lecture, to office hours to finish a couple questions on my homework, to another lecture without having 20 minutes of walking in between each thing. I had a 20 minute break between lecture that allowed me to completely check off one of my homework assignments, which was great.

I'm able to be really efficient with jumping from zoom meeting to zoom meeting, and it's kind of nice, because I'm cutting out so much time for traveling.

Photo Friday - Diamond

More photos from the same place as last week! I'm starting to realize that one photo a week is hardly enough to share all the photos I have, perhaps I should start doing them twice a week? But Photo Tuesday just doesn't roll off the tongue as well.

Photo Friday - Castle Bridge

The bridge was just barely too short. Here's a castle I went to back in January! I wrote about it on my travel blog.

Photo Friday - Sunset

It's not often that I see the sunset unobstructed by buildings looming above me.

Photo Friday - Branching Out

I did branch out.

Photo Friday - Lake

I'm realizing that nearly all of my photos are of snow. Maybe I should branch out?

Photo Friday - Water Droplets

On occasion, I'll take artsy photos. I know how, and I understand the principles, it just takes more effort than I have. 🤣 

Photo Friday - Dark Blue

It's been a while since I've been up this early.

Photo Friday - Rain

A portrait photo to switch things up a bit! Just looking at this makes me miss the rain.

Photo Friday - Night Snow

It's Friday the 13th, so maybe a darker/spookier photo is fitting?

Generative Art

In one of my classes, I learned about generative art and creative coding, which is art that's created by code, often with randomized, autonomous elements. And for that class, we had to do research on creative coders and I quickly found how cool it was.

I didn't really research into creative coding until after my professor assigned a project in making a piece of generative art, but either way, I'm still pleased with the final result of my piece.

Both of the above pieces were created using the same piece of code, and there's a bunch of other variations to it as well. There are five color schemes to choose from, and the position of the shapes are in random order. I had a ton of fun with it, and seeing the art that was created looks really cool too.

If you're interested in viewing the code or seeing the other variations that can come up, I'd encourage you to check it out! Just click the green "run" button at the top of the screen.
