My class officially starts on Friday – which technically is 2 days from today, but I’m really geeked about this.
Today, I got an e-mail invitation to an orientation conference call for the BS-IT program which will be tomorrow night at 8pm. I replied that I will participate of course. So I guess that [...]
Today marks the one year anniversary of hurricane Katrina making landfall along the gulf coast of the USA. True, it was a devastating event and the region has not recovered from the terrible storm. My heart goes out to all of those who have been affected by the storm and the bumbled aftermath that [...]
Last night I dropped in on the Stormvale meeting since I had a bit of time. It was wonderful seeing some of my friends again and meeting new ones. I hope to make it back to a meeting again soon. It’s not too often that I have some extra time, but I hope [...]
