Travel Itinerary

Here's my flight itinerary for the next trip. Sorry it's posted as an image, but that was the easiest way.

Programming 101

This year I plan on teaching object oriented programming using the Alice language:

It might seem goofy to anyone with years of experience building applications, but I believe it will be a very easy way to introduce basic concepts like objects, control structures, methods, and more.

I've been playing around with it for a while now so I can at least teach a class on it. Who knows, perhaps by the time we're done I'll be showing them how to make iPhone apps!

Prepping for 2010 - Typhoid Gut

Preparations for 2010 have been underway for quite some time now. I booked my ticket at a massive discount (about $1,300 instead of $1,800), and just got screened for my vaccinations. Turns out I need a booster for my Typhoid.

I remember this from the first time I went. Several doses spread over about a week and pills that are kept in the fridge since it's a live virus.

I don't remember the loss of appetite of near constant stomach ache.

I just keep telling myself that it's better than actually get Typhoid. Not that I know what that disease is like, but I imagine it's worse that than this. Right?
