It is rather difficult to find a dumb phone these days.
She won, Rebekka won
It’s 2010, three years after I’ve created Rebekka Guðleifsdóttir’s website. When I go the job interviews or meet potential clients, I still mention this website as the best I’ve done. Quite honestly, take the photos out and it looks terrible. I sure know, since I’ve done it.
What makes it the best I’ve done is her photo and the context in which I did it. I was out to gain experience on the web. My knowledge was primitive. The only things I had on my side was my will to move forward and Rebekka, otherwise she’d never let me do it.

I spend a lot of time in the past today. I had to do some self cleaning.
In movies and television programs, it is made clear that a high school student can not be good at both intellectual and physical activities. The jock is captain of the sport team and he sucks at anything that requires brain cells. The nerd is a library rat who spends his days in books and he sucks at sports.
