Seems like I may be having some luck with freelance artwork.  Just finished a "Pin the tail on the Yoshi" game for someone.  I will post photos soon.  It is so nice to be doing something I love, even if it is just something on the side.

I will have another project coming in soon, a charcoal drawing of a boxer.  People love their dogs, and I love drawing them.  If I can keep up these little projects they will help pay the bills quite nicely.  Looking forward to many more freelance opportunities.
 
I have only been taking this class for two weeks and I have already learned so much! 

I learned about how the internet started and how it grew into what it is today.  I had to read about the different types of networks and the differences between each one, how computers transmit data from one to the other, and about internet connections.  I learned how DSL, cable, wireless, and mobile web work and I learned about the different organizations that help keep the internet running smoothly.

Some of this was pretty new to me while other parts of it were building on what I had already known.  Either way, I find it interesting how all the steps involved in transmitting data can be done so quickly on the internet.

Can't wait to get into the designing aspects of my classes!
