I’ll tell ya - you spend 30 minutes with a kid, showing him how CSS works both inline and as a seperate stylesheet, and two days later he’s hanging out a shingle and giving the old man a run for his money…

I went upstairs earlier today to find this on my 10 year old son’s door (click to enlarge):

So…now I guess it’s time to start charging rent..

    This is great!

  4. Eric on June 19, 2007

    Those are great prices. Does he work on contract?

  5. Michael Montgomery on June 19, 2007

    Excellent; very funny.

    Tell him “great job on that whimsical typeface.”

    I notice he works shorter hours during holidays so he’s got the right work work ethic as well! Watch out for his Cafe Press shop next.

    Oh man, that’s awesome. My wife and I are cracking up.

    That is way too cute.  I want his hours…

    This is so cute. How proud you must be to have such an ingenious and smart little boy. He is well on his way to making it big with already having a business mind. Make sure that you keep encouraging him and let him create !! This might be the next Donald Trump or Bill Gates!

    Hah…he’s got more ideas for what he wants to do when he grows up that we can’t track them on a daily basis.  They run the gamut from web guy to demolition derby driver (not that, at times, those are all that different…;).

    He doesn’t have to be the next Bill Gates….just enough to support me in my old age will suffice…;)

    It’s hard when you first start out…This might be able to help him.

    Could i ask your 9 year old to teach my 26 year old to get off
    his arse.

    Well done.

    Those are his rates? This client I have, who says his nephew could make him a web site for $20 ... he’s getting taken to the cleaners.

  14. LGR on June 29, 2007

    That is awesome! I think we all better look out at those rates. I guess I better not show my son how to do it.

    Very cute and funny! Thanks.

    very funny indeed!

    Makes me a little nostalgic.
    What is ‘eack fansy 5cents’?

  17. Gyllian on July 27, 2007

    That is the most adorable thing I’ve seen in a while. Hopefully when I have my kids, they’ll be just as motivated! LOL.
