About

Hi, my name's Liz and I'm a jack of all trades, a Renaissance woman, a polymath -- whatever you call it, that's my hobby: learning new things. Like computer nerds love computers, learning nerds love learning! Here are my main goals:

  1. Learn everything there is to learn (or at least die trying).
  2. Teach what I learn while I learn it, sharing my free tutorials on this site.
  3. Encourage as many people as possible to do the same.

A Little Change of Plans (Good and Bad News)

If you’ve read my last few posts, you might have noticed that, well, I suck at setting deadlines for myself. I guess that’s what happens when I’m excited about a project but also too busy to make it happen.

So, the bad news is I’m going to put this project on hold until the summer. I’m disappointed about putting it off, but the good news is I’m doing it because I’m starting my first internship! It was an amazing opportunity that happened just this week — completely unexpected!

The other bit of bad news is that while I was testing out my camera to make a new series of videos, I actually dropped it. It made a very loud sound against the hardwood floor, and that was the end of it. Bye bye camera. :(

But that’s OK. A little bad luck, a little good luck. I think it’ll all work out in the end.
