Número tres: Creating a Simple HTML Page

 <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Hello, I like cars and computers.</span></p> <p style="text-align: right;"><em>this is a basic HTML page.</em></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>PRETTY COOL</strong></p> Honestly making this html page wasn’t too bad. The thing that caused me the most issue is on my mac it wouldn’t let me save the html file as html, it kept saving as an rtf document. I had to  find the file in the file explorer and saving as html after I finished making the document, weird. I used a couple of different things. I used the paragraph, bold, italics, and where the lines start. It honestly sounded harder than it actually was and only actually took my 5 mins to do. I remember taking a html course a couple years back and looking back on it, I find this to be way easier than any of my other languages like java or python. I know they aren’t in anyway the sam

Número cuatro: Online Scavenger Hunt

The online scavenger hunt wasn’t too bad. I really struggled with the links to the shopping carts. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to copy a link to a shopping cart that already had what I put in it. What happened was when I tried to open the link I just copied with the items, they would just disappear and show an empty cart. So instead, I found the items and put them in the carts and then just screenshotted the page. Logging into the computer lab was another pain in the ass. I don’t know if I was doing the correct thing, but to remote login in to the computer lab had me downloading like three different software’s including a VPN, and then trying to login into each of these which caused me the most problems. I couldn’t even login into the last program that I needed until I completed it, so I just gave up on that one. I didn’t get to them but the question about the flights sounded a bit hard and the one with the cookie.txt sounds hard too. The HTML page also caused me probl

Número seis: Three Things I Would Not Buy Online

Three things I wouldn't buy online. One thing for sure is a car or motorcycle. I love cars and motorcycles more than even computers and when I do go to buy my first car (2020-2022 Toyota Supra) or my first motorcycle, I want to be able to go to a lot or if used go and see the car in person. This way I can see if I'm comfortable with the vehicle and can take it to a test drive and such. Things like Carvana where you buy the car online and they deliver it to you seem kind of sketchy and somewhat problematic. I also wouldn’t buy clothes online. My clothes are all weird sizes, some medium some small, and some extra-large, so I wouldn’t feel comfortable buying them before trying them on. Same with shoes. Depending on the shoes and their design my size 10.5 foot can fit comfortably in a size 9 and sometimes must move up to size 11 like for my cleats. I also don’t know if this counts but anything without free return shipping is a big no. That wouldn’t make sense, If I were to buy a la

Número cinco - A Visit From Erik Hanberg

I liked the talk he gave. It gave some insight into the struggles of trying to be successful. He also gave good examples of his multiple income sources like his books. I also didn’t really understand how big of a thing online business was back then when it first came out but from the lectures you gave, and Mr. Hanberg really put into perspective how I might take for granted how important and integrated online businesses are to our society. One of the main questions I wanted to ask Mr. Hanberg was if he went to college, and if he did, did it help him at all in his journey to his current occupation. I wish I did ask it because it’s a big deal for me. College is very expensive and for the degree I’m getting (computer science) there’s other things you can do besides college like bootcamps and get some of the same positions as a college graduate minus the cost of college. Also, it was cool that he wrote books that he was passionate about like his sci-fi and mystery books but also the non-pr
