This looks fun

For certain values of fun anyway. It’s like going back to school without the [cost|credit] but with a commitment to learn stuff. Seriously thinking of trying to backfill some of my core CS deficiencies as I didn’t do a whole lot of serious CS work in the MIS program. Of interest are: Design and Analysis…

I’m becoming that guy

So…I’m posting cat humor now. In my defense, it seems kind of funny to me. Louis vs. Rick. The ostensible results of a Rick teaching his cat how to IM. Presented in reverse chronological order.
