Hi Folks later tonight (4 hours actually) I'll be flying out to Orlando for the first leg of Microsoft's "Academic Days" cruise. (https://www.msadgd07.net/main.aspx) Friday night after spending a day in Nassau, I'll be presenting on using gaming to teach computer science, Torque X, and GarageGames Educational resources.

After two days in the Bahamas, I'll be returning to Orlando for presentations at :

Florida Interactive Entertainment Academy
University of Central Florida
1 pm

Then it is off to Full Sail for a 5pm presentation

Followed by a meeting with the Orlando TIG for an informal (Beer) Q&A session

All of the session are open to students and Torque Developer's in the Orlando area are welcome to join the TIG session as well.

I get three days of down time before heading off to the Game Developers Conference in San Fransisco. If you are going to be at GDC and would like to meet with me, please send me an e-mail so we can set up a time.

If you haven't had a chance yet, please take a moment to read Michael Blenden's blog (http://www.garagegames.com/blogs/78963/12373) on our new "Curriculum Resources" Page (http://www.garagegames.com/solutions/education/curriculum/)

Special Thanks this entry to Reni Abraham and Jennie Choo for giving me great feedback on my presentation. And big props to Mike B., Alex S, Joe M. and John Q., for helping me with all my last minute prep.

Davey, is it actually a Cruise? i.e. onboard a ship?

Must be a nightmare staying in the bahamas.. oh dear, a warm sandy beach!

I'm sorry Vashner but nobody at GarageGames should have to suffer. After all they do for us, I can't stand by and let one of them suffer. I'll "suffer" in his place. Its the least I could do. I'll take one for the team :)

Nevertheless have fun!
