Updating often

Hello readers.

I started this blog because, as some of you may know, for the next 5 weeks I will be traveling back and forth between Buffalo and San Jose to teach classes for IRD. This started as the notion that I would simply be going this weekend for a 3 day stint in the Bay Area to teach some substitute classes. That soon changed, however, and I will be, starting this Saturday, flying down to San Jose every Saturday, teaching a total of 9 classes in San Fransisco and San Jose, and flying back Wednesday to Buffalo. Since the terms are on different schedules, I will be starting the 2nd summer term out West, while still finishing up two weeks worth of classes here in Buffalo on Thursday and Friday. That means that starting today, I will be teaching 28 classes in 14 days. My schedule looks roughly like this:

• Thursday July 19: Teach 2 classes at Temple Beth Am in Williamsville, NY


• Friday July 20: Teach 3 classes at Temple Beth Am in Williamsville, NY

Pretty intense, no? As you may have noticed, my schedule allows me to teach an Intro to Flash 8 class at Squeaky Wheel here in Buffalo from August 9 - August 30, about which I am very excited.

Anyway, I will be using this blog to post updates on how things are going during this hectic time during which I probably will not get to see friends and family. Please keep in touch with me, either through comments here or via email, myspace, facebook, twitter, or just the old-fashioned telephone. And oh yeah, wish me luck!
