Taking a good course through SANS right now, I realized mine was OK at best. It took me some time to put together using old Open Source stuff, and I only taught it one year (which means it was pretty ugly). BUT, it’s nice seeing that I at least taught Read more…
So it can be very hard to find video game music for those games you might be putting together. There are lots of free sites out there for sound effects as well (best is this BBC one). But there are some more legal-ish ones as well. This is an open Read more…
So I have been following this awesome tutorial by Corey Schafer, and it has really been helpful. There are some quirks to get it to work on AWS Beanstalk, but I did get it up and running. All in all it took only a few hours to get the AWS Read more…
TL; DR TAKE SOFT SKILL PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

After leaving teaching for a little over a decade I thought I would share some of my curriculum/docs. People thought that would be a great idea, but I have to be the least organized person in history. So I am going to do this a little at a time. This Read more…
