Hey Al, the syllabus looks great. Jack has wanted to learn more about Photoshop, as well as posting videos on the web. He's saving his allowance for a Flip camera, so he will be happy to hear that he will get to use one during this camp. His allowance is fairly meager - or so he tells me - therefore it will be a while til he has enough saved. I'm looking forward to seeing what the kids create. Enjoy the rest of summer, we will see you in August. I'm off to check out (or rather "be humbled by") that Suduko site you've posted on the blog!
Um, for the record, it took me 5:53 to finish the first puzzle. I welcome some friendly competition if any of the adults or kids are interested. I suspect my time is easy to beat!
This is a test
