Challenge #3: Choosing an editor.

Spent about 2 minutes figuring this one out.  I'll be using Notepad++ because of naturally it deals with code.

Challenge #2: Coding by Hand.

Took about five tries.  Was able to do it in under a minute by memory by the end of 15 minutes.

Webmaking 101

Hey folks. My name is Mike and I'm starting from scratch with web design.  My ultimate goal is to go from zero to semi-pro in the next 7-10 months... Lofty goals, I know.  My aim is to be able to test out/challenge the web design portion of a graphic design program back in Canada.

I have been teaching ESL for 7 (on and off) years out of the last 10 in South Korea.  It's about time to return to Canada, and pursue a career in graphic design.  My aesthetic preferences lean towards video game references, geeky nonsense, minimalism, and frivolity; a veritable gumbo of randomness that I want to finesse into something more coherent.  That's me in a koopa shell*.
