Boom shakalak! Let’s get started.

Hey B,

Seun here with another issue of DCG. It’s a bit late, but I wanted to welcome you again to August. It just dawned on me that we have been home for almost 7 months! That’s crazy, I hope you are not saddened seeing your mates graduating as this is graduation season. I also hope your family isn’t stressing you too much at home. Just remember that ‘delay is not denial’, it is painful and sad but you will still get that degree and move out eventually.

How have the last two weeks been for you? For me, it’s just been an emotional roller coaster. I saw plenty shege last week but I’m maintaining beauty and trying to stay happy and that’s what matters. I finally finished Umbrella Academy and all I can say is “Omo!!!” Please don’t sleep on this show. I need movie recommendations. Please reply this email with any nice series I can watch on Netflix (No Anime please🙂). Anyway, let’s get down to business.

Tools of the week…

Now for fun tools I used this week:

1. Color picker for Chrome: I have been teaching some kids CSS and when we need to know what color was used on a website to use for our class, we have to guess and do trial and error. So I googled till I found a color picker extension for google chrome. All you have to do is download the extension from the chrome web store, click on the extension icon and then click on the color you want the hex value to. It will give you the hex and RGB value for whatever color.

2. If you’re looking for where to learn a Tech skill, you can check out any of the following sites for free.

   a. Free Code Camp

   b. Apt Learn
   c. Codecademy

   d.W3schools

3. Jot Form basically saved my life this week. It has over 10,000 templates for whatever you want.

4. Tiny Wow is officially my favorite site. It has free tools for pretty much anything you need to do online.

Don’t hesitate to reply if you have any questions about any of these tools.
