Why the heck I want to torture myself

Hello, Blogger, my old friend.

On again, off again. 

Read a bunch, many bunches. However not much to pour out. Even in private.

Writing code is easier, as long as you have a plan. You just find the steps to execute that plan, step by step. You can generally succeed before your code becomes a mess of a hairball.

Writing code is really easier. Every time you have a question, you hit search, you found a dozen of posts, stackoverflow, You Tube, clamoring for your attention. 

When you code, copying and pasting is never a problem, as long as you understand what you are copying and pasting. When copying and pasting become too greater a need, you get a library. Import. Ha.

With writing, it is plagiarism.

Anyway, I still wanted to write. At least, at this moment. Midnight. 12am. 

I wanted to make myself a challenge, since I watched that google guy Matt something spoke on Ted about taking a 30 day challenge. 

So why not?

1) I have to infest my limited coding capacity to my little kids
2) Writing code is generally boring for business. 
3) I just bought Makey-Makey (or Wakey-Wakey) and wanted to do cool things
4) I have to educate myself to be fluent in this de-facto coding language Scratch. 

This is my challenge:

For the next 30 days:

1) Everyday write some code in Scratch
2) Everyday tinker a little bit with my electronic tools, makey makey or arduino
3) Everyday write about it, at the very least, throw some pictures or videos if writing is too arduous. 

At the end of the 30 days:

1) Has some makey-makey projects to show off on YouTube
2) Has some electronic projects to show off on YouTube
3) Have 2-5 scratch projects completed

Let's get the ball rolling.
