What if, you spent your entire life knowing you wanted to do something to change the world. What if, as a little bi -racial girl growing up in the 80’s you dreamed of being a gamer geek, computer nerd, sci-fi dork, just like your brothers. What if you spent your […]
Does this week sound familiar to anyone? Monday: I have so many cool puzzles to solve, I can’t wait to get to it. I am gonna be THAT genius that updates, DRY’s up and cleans up some code to make life easier for the team, once and for all! Tuesday: […]
