About Me

I have a variety of interest to keep my hands, feet, and mind busy, including: knitting, ballroom dance, tango, salsa, bellydance, and of course reading.My latest interest is computer science as both an academic discipline and an intellectual exercise. I just completed a class in multimedia and created my first animated video in Flash about an alien visiting Earth, featuring haiku poetry, and the music of Billy Preston:http://www.addictingclips.com/Clip.aspx?key=48B4408B 5CD7B958
