Woke up this morning, went to my Enterprise Computing class (an amusingly basic programming class I was encouraged to take because it’s VisualBasic .NET), to do this silly problem where using a loop calculate how long it would take to pay for payment making wage per hour:

According to this I’m potentially America’s Most Eligible Bachelor. I’m as nerdy as it gets. I’m writing this while taking a break from something that I was really enjoying: debugging a web app! Can you get any more nerdy?

I noticed this on Google this evening.

Zen of CSS Design is out. I think I’ve got to pickup a copy of that book. For now just added to the wishlist. Looks rather good. David Shea is rather brilliant. I’m curious if anyone has seen it yet (and what they think of it).

Problem Summary
