I've learned a lot about building websites in the past few months, much of which you'll get to see here soon. Obviously, I love Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles, or Honu, so that will be the central theme. Thanks to everyone who helped me troubleshoot my coding issues. I think the end result is well worth all the effort.
For you fellow Geeks, the redesign separates the content from the design. If I just posted the HTML you'd see whatever default font you've got your browser set on, and all the content would just run straight down the page. You'll notice, however, that my redesign includes three columns, various graphics, and a specific font style. Can't wait to unveil it. Hope you enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed working on it.
Saturday morning I went running. It wasn't far—just short of half a mile. I was inspired by my friend Jen who told me she believed in me and knew I could do it. Actually, what she said was she thought I could run a marathon.
*chuckle*
I have absolutely no desire to run a marathon, I'm not sure it's good for our bodies. I've simply starting to run again, in addition to my walking. I used to run quite a bit in high school and in the Army. Somehow I remember it being fun. Well, Saturday wasn't exactly fun, but it was inspiring, sweaty, and much less painful than I expected.
It really made me think about how many things I don't do—and why I don't do them. I'm starting to question a lot of what I do and why. Stay tuned.
I'm not even sure what I'm excited about, but I am excited, I know that. I'm taking on the development of a couple of websites, and editing and writing some other work. It's very different than what I've been doing, and a tremendous challenge, but I'm more up for it now than I've ever been. I just need to remind myself to get enough sleep and not overdo it.
Okay, gotta thank Chiara for this official confirmation of my geekiness. Yes, I'm a geek—actually, a Major Geek. My score? 40.0394 percent. Major Geek is the fourth level of eight levels of Geekdom.
My favorite answers were:
So I tell Sophie about my score, and she's indignant. She says, "Actually, Mom, 40 percent is an F, so you're not a geek!"
When I tell her that makes me a Major Geek, she says, "But it you do a lot of cool things, you listen to rock, play the electric guitar..." (not sure if that trailing off was a loss for my other cool qualities, or if that should be enough)
Somehow I think she doesn't get that I'm happy with my geekiness. *sigh* Teenagers.
Actually so many of the answers seemed "normal" to me, I kinda felt bad for non-geeks.
If you feel like it, let me know how geeky you are!
