The video you NEED to watch about SOPA!

If you do not understand SOPA/PIPA and how your government has decided to take away your freedom of speech, than watch this video.

New Years Resolutions

My new years resolutions were not stupid and absurd, like most folks are, which almost always result in failing. Here they are:


  1. Move out.
  2. Get accepted to ASU's Barrett Honors college.
  3. Keep working 20 hours per week.
  4. Work out every morning.
  5. Stop watching crap on TV.
And only if things are going well with the above, I'll do the following:
  1. Participate in Warrior Dash 5k obstacle course.
  2. Participate in PF changs 1/2 marathon.

I'll make a project post on my training, might even include a before and after picture ;)

v001.ahack3r.us

Introduction

As mentioned in the post Project:Luke-ryberg.com, this version will include learning every aspect of HTML5/javascript and CSS3. This is all hand done markup with no frameworks, templates, or Content Management Systems involved. Just .html, .js, and .css files created in notepad++ and uploaded via Filezilla.

Resources used

Although I have been writing markup in CSS/XHTML for about two years, I decided to start learning the next generation from the beginning.

Bucky Robert's HTML5 tutorial series at thenewboston.org
Nick Pettit's web design tutorial series at teamtreehouse.com
Smashing Magazine's Cheat Sheets.

Start over

I destroyed my xhtml/css site and then used valid HTML5 markup to create this skeleton.

v001.ahack3r.us

And here is the markup.



The next step will obviously sketch out a layout/ general styling, then study up on the new CSS3 features and style away in a main.css :)

Project: Luke-ryberg.com

How things are going down


  • This project will have multiple versions, each phase will be a result of the latest language and software I have learned.
  • I'll be using my site http://ahack3r.us/ as the "sandbox" to deploy betas in, each will be on a unique sub-domain related to the software being used, each beta will have it's own post here so that you can follow the development and give feedback.
  • Once a beta has been completed and passed several versions and is the most promising for my main site, I will move it to http://www.luke-ryberg.com/
  • After the final bugs and meanderings are worked out there, I will finally move all my content from http://whatlukedoes.blogspot.com/ over my new official site, and this will be shut down :)

Looking forward to the changes and the learning that will come with it! Be sure to follow my tweets on this project #lukerybergcom !
