Dead Pirate’s Society

May 2, 2012 — 1 Comment

I am crestfallen to report that Oceanside High School Alumni and former San Diego Super Charger Junior Seau has committed suicide only moments ago. I heard about it on the radio while my kids and I were on our way home for lunch. It is very sad and serious when someone is upset enough to end their own life. I would encourage any readers out there to seek professional help if they are feeling listless, sad, angry or out of sorts. It is worth it to have at least one other confidant to express your true feelings.

To thee our hearts are tied.

Webmaking 101 Task#2

January 28, 2012 — Leave a comment

Whoa. I just remembered that if you are going to use a Sharpie it’s best to do so in a well ventilated area. I have completed the first part of my badge quest last night and woke up this morning to tackle the second. Here is an example of my first attempt to copy some HTML by hand:

The first time I did anything like this was twelve years ago in 1996. In Rob Driscoll’s English class. It was at the Oceanside High School’s now defunct Global Internet Academy. Go Pirates!!!

I did have a hard time completing it a second time from memory. The format as far as paragraphs and spacing went was easy to remember. I did run into some trouble with the values of what the HTML tags were defining. All I had to do was peek for a moment and I was back on track. This is a fun exercise, Let me know what you think of my craftsmanship.
