For one of my classes last semester, we were encouraged to give back some of our tech skills to the community, encouraging the sense of service learning. I had been approached by the Champlain Valley Folk Festival to do some improvements to their web site for them. Since the organizers are good friends, and I believe in the cause, I offered to do the work for them as my service project for the class. Other factors took over my life, and I ended up volunteering at an intro to Computer Science seminar for local scouts instead (Can somebody give me an example of an embedded device? I.C.B.M.s. Correct, but scary.)
A draft example of the new site is up at http://stamper.uvm.edu/cvff/index.html. Not done yet but should go live relatively soon. I’m also providing some CSS and design advice to MacLeod Information Services, and it’s good to flex these particular muscles again. Anyway, nothing too exciting, as I’m rusty from not having bloviated online in quite some time.
