CSS Animations (Beginner)

GitHub => Boxing Around Happy "Endgame" day, everyone! Or Seabreeze Jazz Festival Day, or SandJam Festival Day, or "I live somewhere that has things to do and I'm going to do them to forget I don't enjoy my job" day.

Let A Mouse Teach You About Computers; Teacher's Pet Chip

Here's a fun, tech-related little fellow that I've had for years; Chip! He has googly eyes too. A little plush mouse that opens up to be a pocket guide to computers! Written by Dee Wood. Illustrated by Andy Peters. I wonder if they still write and illustrate? If you can see the copyright, it says 2000. I was 7 in 2000, and probably bought this at a Scholastic Book Fair, as it includes 2 things I love to this day - Computers and rodents.

This article calls it " TV That Learns You ". Because I'm not on LinkedIn with this post, I don't have to pretend to be excited about yet another service gathering data on me to sell to people in this information age. 

How I Earned My CCNA

I get this question a lot, from LinkedIn to even Instagram and Tumblr, and thought I'd give a list of resources I used to pass both tests on my first try. It looks like a mugshot but it's not.

Testing Verizon's Early 5G Speeds...3 Major Issues [CNET]

Jessica Dolcourt isn't thrilled. And I can't blame her. Using a Moto Z3 and a mod for 5G, even directly under the 5G node in the Verizon store, the phone keeps going from 4 to 5G. It gets worse as spotty connections at various points in the Windy City stop, stall, and eventually cannot connect to 5G hotspots at all. The mod...well, read the article . It has an issue that won't be a problem as new phones comes out, but for now, it does. MY THOUGHTS

Brand-standing Ft. Rebrandly

Rebrandly is an API that makes your urls reflective of your business. Ever see links on Twitter that look like t.co? https://www.codecademy.com/articles/rebrandly-signup This is part of the final beginner's Javascript lesson on CodeAcademy, but let's look around some more. A little like finangling with the DNS records of this very domain , more records needed to be placed within. That's really all it does, and the free account has enough options for me. You can pay for far more!
