Springboard
From mortarboard to onboard, practical skills for employment. Hilary Pike, Academic Developer Evangelist October 30 Ohio State Alums: Shape Slasher XNA gameWe've all seen Ohio State's #1 football ranking, but what else comes out of OSU? Great Computer Scientists! Alumnus, Vince Sheib created the Shape Slasher game using XNA Express in just 2 days. The Imagine Cup Game Development Competition is a great way to get started with XNA and help our environment. October 18 Jazz: Beat Box meets fluteThursday morning procrastination lead to this video ...this guy has a wicked mix of talent!

October 15 To blog or not to blogI've been wondering if blogging is really my style, but, alas, I'm going to start posting some content here. I've started to reading a few blogs and I think I am ready to dive in. I am currently an Academic Developer Evangelist at Microsoft. What does all that jargon mean? I love technologies and help students realize their technology passions. I write a Microsoft Student Newsletter that is currently the News for Students column in the MSDN Flash Newsletter. I work with Microsoft Student Partners to bring software awareness to campuses.
So, what am I reading these days:
Diane Curtis and I are both student evangelists. She and I have traveled the nation together starting out as buckeyes at Ohio State (Yes, the #1 ranked buckeyes!)
Alfred Thompson writes on news for students & computer science teachers. Focusing on the K12 and beginner aspects of software.
Dan Fernandez writes witty articles about geeks, enthusiasts and beginners. My favorite about Microsoft bloggers, like Cribs for Geeks.
