First: I urge you to go vote for Liz Scott (Elizabeth de Beauclaire in the SCA) for the Really Goode Job:

Frankly, she'd be great at it, and we'd get to drink more goode wine.

Second: I'm teaching this summer at the Summer Technology Academy, at San Jose State. It's a great program aimed at middle school students (leading up to High School students) exposing them to engineering. It's inexpensive ($300 for 3 weeks, 3 hours per day either morning or afternoon) and it's a great way to keep their minds and bodies engaged during the summer. And I'm teaching it. If you have a student at an appropriate school who could get to the class, please consider passing the information along to your school board, or better yet Math or Science teacher:

I'd be happy to go and speak directly to any teacher or class, and describe what's happening.
This is huge fun, and I'd like to get enough students to warrant more duct tape escapades!

Judging from the gleeful precis you offered yesterday, it sounds like a terrific course.

Thanks!

Looks like a lot of fun!

I'll pass it along to my parental ewe (who is a middle school tech teacher in a Santa Clara County school district.)

Thank you!
