I’m not sure what grade it will get, but here you go anyway! There are many ways to build websites and web applications these days: HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript; CMSs like Drupal or WordPress; even hand-coded HTML pages with dynamic content pulled from JSON feeds.

Below is a long blog post about 2014. We are going to try something new for this year and break it up into two posts (so far). The first half of the day was mostly filled with meetings, discussions, reports on committees as well as presentations by members who were traveling in the United States promoting our cause or getting training from other chapters around North America.

I’m grateful that we have been able to spend more quality time together as we work through issues of finances and health with both me and my dad going through chemotherapy treatments.

Below is a long blog post about 1980s music that I’ve written for the website of my local radio station, Radio Alaska. In June 2016 (the summer after I graduated from college), I was working as an intern at KUAC-FM in Fairbanks and they asked me to write something on their website called “Alaskan Music Month”.
