[757labs] html5/js pair programming?

[Steve Nelson]

I don't think I need a math major. Most of the math I'm trying to do is just
high school math, it's just that I'm an idiot.

You're right though that I don't need anyone well versed in any particular
language. I'm happy to teach anyone the ins and outs of javascript and
html5.
