I sometimes end up taking side roads to explore different topics, which is a great way to find out about new things. However, I am directing myself back to web development now. Thanks to <a href="http://freecodecamp.org/" target="_blank">freeCodeCamp.org</a>, I am getting back on track.<br />
<br />
Here is a project that I completed today, a portfolio page that links to some of my favorite projects. It was enjoyable to revisit past projects. <a href="https://codepen.io/ethyl2/full/KBvzJr/" target="_blank">https://codepen.io/ethyl2/full/KBvzJr/</a><br />

You start with 2 equilateral triangles, cording and beads, and end up with a cute drawstring bag with petals.<br />

He's required to use cursive, which is so old school. So I suggested that he write on his dry erase board, take a photo of his work with my iphone, upload it to a computer and print it. Much better.
