More than anything, I love a good laugh!
I will choose to watch/read something funny 90% of the time and the remaining 10% is usually something like NOVA on PBS. So, when I was given the assignment to create a React-Redux app that fetched data from an API of my choosing, I knew it was going to be something funny.
Looking for the perfect (free, public) API was a fun challenge and in my search, I was lucky to find this: https://github.com/leovolving/jack-donaghy-quotes
Dear Leo (creator of this API)
Thanks! I can only assume that you are an awesome human!
I raise a glass of scotch in your honor, while I enjoy some, “…very expensive freshwater clams from the… Cuyahoga River”.
From,
Lisa
Needless to say, I am a big fan of the "Head of TV and Microwave Oven Programming", Jack Donaghy from the sitcom 30 Rock. Leo's API has 30+ quotes from the hilarious character portrayed by Alec Baldwin. The app I made is very basic, but the wisdom of Jack Donaghy is anything but basic. Feel free to check out my silly app here: https://react-redux-app-rcualva64.now.sh/ Clicking on the Get More Jack Donaghy Wisdom button will randomly choose one of the 30+ quotes.
If you are wondering where that cover image of Jack drinking scotch came from, and you'd enjoy a bit more Jack Donaghy wisdom click on this link:

I will wrap up this post with one of my all time favorite quotes...
“There are no bad ideas, Lemon. Only good ideas that go horribly wrong.”
