It's not just about what happens in class. Lots of good things going down all the time. I've been involved in:

  • Basic Python
  • RSS for Podcasting
  • Python and PyHP
• 24-Hour Machinima Design Jam: Rough stuff, but well worth the effort.

• Gravity Ball
• Gamepad Video Controller
• Automated Blues Band
• Midterm: Cryptogram
