New Job

December 11th, 2007 |

What can I say? I wish I could talk to you all in person. My full time job as an SCC teacher is almost over. I will be teaching one class (CIS 283) online next quarter. That will be cool. Helping ignite learning and research for students has always been a passion of mine. I hope I’ve modeled a person who gets excited about new technology and is always willing to learn. Over the years I’ve gone from being the “Java guy” to the “PHP guy” now to the “Ruby guy”. It is all good stuff and now I wonder what lies ahead? Whatever it is I know you’ll keep with it and change the world. Some of you were wondering what I will be doing at my new job. Here is an ABC video spot showing the website I am working on and purpose of it. Watch
