Lessons Learned

 * I learned more about images and resizing in the wiki.
 * When dealing with bids from Elance, never take the first one, they will usual hit you back with a much lower number.
 * Creating PowerPoint presentations are more time consuming than I originally thought, but using Gimp makes presentations more appealing.

Additional Comments

 * I got to experience my first OWASP conference call this week concerning AppSec. It was interesting to hear how many factors play into creating a conference. I can't wait for AppSec next month.
