Week in Review

By Elle Moxley / Mar. 28 2010 / (0) Comments

A few quick thoughts before I run off to be ON A BOAT:

  • When you work in public radio, the first thing to go is your dignity.  Commentary to follow.
  • I think I’m going to recode this website in CSS.
  • If you’re teaching yourself Flash, don’t start with a project that has 82 layers.
  • Communications law (especially school law) is fascinating, but I think one law degree is enough for the two people in my relationship.

See you next week.
