Questions

• Why doesn't node serve "static" files? (cole)
• How can I get jquery to run on a node server/why doesn't it? (cole)
• Confused about the following statement in the intro to CSS document: "When you set the width and/or height on an element, keep in mind that if contents of the element make it larger than your specifications, those properties will be ignored. If you’d like the element to keep the width and height regardless of how much content it includes, you can set the overflow property to hidden." Can you give us an example?(Luke)

• Jingwen - Poetic Network
• Karthik - It is a self portrait with 0's and 1's. It is a play on irony, because situations in life are never as clear as 1 or 0. I used an image to convert it to text and incorporated into HTML. Will incorporate CSS after understanding it a little bit more.
• Marc - Self Reflection - Printing out a sketch's guts
• Maya - People go on vacations to foreign destinations, escape reality through music and self-expression, live vicariously through film and entertainment...because it makes them happy.However, people still search for this thing called happiness, which I highlight through Buddha's quote. I believe that happiness is a state of mind, and the things we use to enter that mind-set tend to be simplified to pop-culture. While some are more spiritual than others, happiness has become partnered with something and hardly found alone.
