My TED talk is tomorrow! I'm nervous, but also slightly excited. This is that final chance to show what I've learned and share my inspiration with everyone, but presenting in the audion is a bit daunting.

Oh well.

Since Sunday, I've chosen new colors for my code that will make it prettier, and also decided that I only want to show a section of my code. Only a few (if any) members of the audience will actually benefit from me scrolling through the .html file while the others simply wonder what the syntax on the screen means. This is why I've decided to cater more to my audience with my presentation, and take out a lot of the code-oriented talking and put in more of my inspiration, process and passion. I think that the speech will be equally good and more understandable. I've also translated a lot of the parts of code that I do need to keep in the speech to layman's terms so that it's much easier to understand, and I made analogies from the code to the real world so that people can get a sense of what it's actually doing.

Other than that, the code is pretty much done. Because I'm only going to be showing a small section of the code (which I've already taken a picture of for the TED talk) I'm free to continue working on the html file until I think that it is absolutely perfect. I got a lot accomplished in the 7 weeks that were given to work on this project, a new door has opened for me, and I want to keep expanding on what I already have until I feel that it's complete.

I'll see you at the TED talk tomorrow! :)
