In fifth grade I wrote a D&D random encounter generator in Microsoft Basic on the Mac, sometime in the mid-'80s. Even my rpg-playing buds thought it was nerdy.

In fifth grade I wrote a D&D random encounter generator in Microsoft Basic on the Mac, sometime in the mid-'80s. Even my rpg-playing buds thought it was nerdy. It used toolbox calls to get real buttons and fonts on the screen. I was a font and design nerd too. In high school i was very active with several local BBSes in the san gabriel valley and learned a lot from people i met there. When mosaic came out, building web sites was such a no brainer natural fit, I took to it immediately and have been doing it inside and out, one way or another since then.
