New Design

I have had this website for some time, ever sense I was a wee collage lad. From time to time, I make a general effort to update my little piece of the internet. For either fun, or to help show off all the wonderful things that I have learned from one year to the next.

However as of most fun things in life, life keeps putting "shinnies" in front of you. Distracting you like a cat and a laser. Wait. Idea. Arming cats with lasers ... Hmmmm ... lets come back to that later.

Anyways, I seem to have let my poor site stagnate. However ... no more. Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce to you, version 3.0. Or is 4.0 ... no wait this is the fifth version. Well I digress. Any ways.

Enjoy, or not.

Simple Braille Quiz

Due to a friend of mine, I grew interested in those funny little bumps you find on bathroom sign all across America. So to help me learn that mysterious tactile language, and to work on my JavaScript skills, I created this little quiz.

Now it has been a few years sense I wrote this, I have a cooler one in the works, but enjoy my little braille quiz.
