The Love Universe

So, I’m taking an online course for my Library Science degree called Internet Fundamentals and we have to do these html exercises which are finally forcing me to learn the basics of html and css. I’m really enjoying it so far. I feel like I’m learning something extremely practical and useful. Its kind of surprising how little I know considering how much I use Wordpress and how many sites I have hosted on the world wide web. So far I’ve gotten by on the skills of my friends.

Anyways, I finished my first exercise and I’m so proud of it that I just have to share. Here it is, my first web page designed completely from scratch from yours truly:

A few unrelated observations
1. I thought Coco’s last show on Friday was surprisingly joyful and touching. His remarks on cynicism have really stuck with me the past few days. He will be missed for the next seven months.
2. The band I’m currently playing with (Zach Pietrini & The Broken Bones) is playing The Elbo Room this Friday.
