Speaking to 7th Graders Today - How To Be a Software Engineer

In a few minutes (about an hour to be exact) I will be speaking to an entire 7th grade class about the wonderful profession of a Software Engineer. This is one of the speaking engagements that I have been looking forward to the most for some time. I really do miss teaching sometimes and interacting with the kids. This is truly going to be a fun experience getting to talk to the kids about the software industry. I've got my slides prepared and my demo of building a calculator ready to go! Quicken Loans also sent a bunch of those pop-out Frisbees. If I start to bomb, I can always resort to passing those out and I'll be a hit.

For those that want to keep track of what is going on today, just hit my Twitter site. I'll be keeping you up to date with things as they happen.

Twittering Away

I signed up for a Twitter account this morning so you can keep up with what is happening in semi real-time as it happens. This is of course assuming I keep sending text messages to it and the new shiny penny factor doesn't wear off. I figured what the heck, go ahead and sign up now before my desired login account is taken. The link to my Twitter account is http://twitter.com/keithelder .

Today I'm out of the office so if you want to know what I'm up to today there you go. Right now I'm friendless on the Twitter site and it appears that no one has any love for The Elder. I need friends. If you Twitter and aren't a stalker, let's friend up!

For your RSS pleasure I created a feed burner URL of the Twitter Rss here http://feeds.feedburner.com/keitheldertwitter .
