Leaving on a jet plane

Tomorrow is the first day of the Spring semester. While my students are filing into my classroom, I'll be on a jet flying to Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh for a one-day workshop on Alice 3.0, which I'll be using in my Intro to Programming class this semester.

My students will be official bug reporters for Alice 3.0, a scary and yet exciting job for us. I'm also hoping to put a word in for Linux support while I'm there. Wish I was better at tweaking Java in Linux, so I could help out more. :-(

Spent most of today packing up and storing away my NES and SNES game collection. Had to make more room for some recent book acquisitions....
