Wow, my dad has actually been a programmer for a really long time too. I wouldn't be surprised if that had some influence on me. When I was younger, he did teach me some basic HTML and introduced me to a "kids' programming language", Scratch. I wouldn't be surprised if that subtly pushed me in the direction of learning coding, though I think it has a lot to do with just my own interests, too. I've always just been really crazy about computers and websites, and liked peeking at the file structures of games and stuff like that ever since I was young.

I've also always been into drawing and graphics, too. In fact, I was initially going to go into graphic design. I'm still really interested in the visual side of things. I'll want to do more drawing and graphics projects over the summer too...I seem to have so many interests, and neglect all of them most of the time x)

Yeah, I can understand that about only being able to focus on one at a time...I feel the same way, at least when i tcomes to wikis that need a lot of work. If it was just adding a little here and there, that would be one thing. But for wikis whose current content is sparse, it requires a greater level of investment and it's hard to get much done if you're splitting your attention. The JumpStart Wiki certainly has a lot more content than it used to, but with such a big series, there's still a long way to go, so I don't expect I'll be ready to direct my attention towards another Wiki for a while now.

Hearing what you're saying is actually kind of inspiring to me...it makes me excited about the idea of working on some educational, interactive stuff myself. Of course, there are so many other projects I want to get to too, but it still sounds like so much fun.

I actually had a class last semester (about writing for interactive media) where we had to write some scripts (dialogue scripts, not scripts in the sense of coding), concept documents, etc. for a theoretical software project, and one of the choices was an educational game to teach grammar. I chose that, of course, and it was a ton of fun!
