Regular Expression Practice

Hey everyone,
So I was looking online for a place to practice (interactively) posix based regex. I found a few sites, but any where browser intensive, and used a lot of perl/javascript syntax.
So listening to my father's advice of 'if you want something done, do it yourself', I used the quizlet engine to begin making flash cards and their other study tools specifically for regex. 

This may be more beneficial to me than anyone else lol, but I figured I'd share, so as to atleast get your opinions. Right now I have 40 questions, but I hope to add more everyday. What this does is allow me to quickly practice and review patterns when I'm sort of multitasking (like when I"m at the gym on the cycle or ellipictal, or standing in line) . Quizlet has a decent phone app so I can use it and practice all over the place. Anyway here's the link, hope someone out there can make use of it! 
Again I'll be updating it regularly with new cards.

Oh yea, if you select on the top bar, "Gravity" or "Scatter" those are little flash based mini games that incorporate the flash cards. Pretty neat!

^fun!
I got stuck at 'abba' though; it would have been cheating to google "invert match" or something...
