The Kids Are Coming To Town
Ahh Wednesday - or, "Hump Day". The day that we all fight to get through - because at the end of the day, we're in the home stretch for the weekend.
And I love Saturdays...
Anyway, tomorrow isn't an ordinary Wednesday. Tomorrow we get interns for the day. Young kids in High School who want to see what we do, and how we do it.
It's one of the most entertaining parts of working where I work. When I was in high school, my architecture teacher changed my life when he gave me an internship to a local Research & Development company. When I came back, there was nothing else for him to teach me - and he gave me a copy of a program called 3D Studio Max. That's what got me started on my future in graphics.
So tomorrow, kids who are interested in what we do are coming to see us.
Here's hoping I can teach them something.

You had an "architecture teacher" in high school? Gee, times have changed since I was a student. We had art classes (which taught us how to paint colour wheels) and, um, well, that was about it.
OTOH we all learned ten-finger typing, which has been an enormous help in my life. I'd rank it as the single most important thing I learned in school (I learned to read at home before arriving in school).
I think interning is a fabulous idea, every school should try to arrange this for every kid. More power to your keyboard, even if you are a Shrubber :-)
