Wanna-be-Geek!

This semester of school has brought me to the realization that I want to be a geek! This may be an astonishing confession, but it's the truth. Geeks control the world, and I want to be part of that. It takes a lot of work to become a geek however. The specific way in which I came to discover my aspiration to be a geek was through the concept of writing code. I have never written computer code before this semester, but it is really cool. My first exposure to it was through the Basic Stamp microcontroller. We learned to write code that would make the stamp turn on and off things plugged into 120VAC, drive around the Boe-bot, make noises, operate solid state relays, and pneumatics. The abiltiy to control the world was on the desk in front of me throughout these labs. And the key was the code. You can know everything in the world about electronics that you want, but without knowing how to write the code, you can't conquer the world. The second code I recently learned about is Applescript for the Mac OS. I have been learning it on my own, and have only written a few basic programs, but I think it's really cool. I want to learn more, but it's hard to find a lot of info at the basic level. The current program I am about to attempt to write will open textedit, create a new document, and will save it as plain text. That leads me to the last area of my current knowledge of computer code: html. I just learned how to write some basic html last week. I think it is so cool to create a webpage by writing the actual code, and not just using an html editor like Dreamweaver to do it. This week I learned some basic CSS to implement into my html code. The key to the internet is html, and I now am starting to feel like I want to make a real webpage, get a domain name, and have it hosted on the internet. That's exciting.
I know I have a lot to learn, but I want to make it happen. I want to know the codes that can make cool things happen. As an aspiring high school technology teacher, I look forward with much anticipation to being able to teach codes to my students. I will turn them into geeks.
If you are reading this and have any useful information about Basic Stamp code, Applescript, or html and css, please let me know. I need all the help I can get.
That's all for now, I have to go to work, and then I have some coding to do.
