I'm Alaska-Bound!

So if you're reading this, you're either a trusted friend or I've caused an international incident involving Russian, U.S. and, possibly Native American interests. Suffice as to say, this is my first time Up North and I'm very excited.

So you ask - what the hell are you doing up there? Playing taiko at a technology conference is my answer. Yeah - weird, I know. But my great friend, Dave Gordon is going up to expose the great people of AK to the work being done by his tremendous organization, Living Through Learning. Long story short, LTLF's goals are to:

* Connect students who are too ill to attend school using web cameras and other technology in a safe and secure manner.
* Provide educational, technical, and problem solving support to families, educators, health care providers, and community based organizations so that the child with a chronic illness can stay connected to their friends, teachers, and valuable learning opportunities.

Gordo's presenting at the ATSE (Alaska Society for Technology in Education) 2010 conference. I'm going to give an hour-long demonstration of the work he and are doing with my organization, Boundless Percussion. In other words, I'm going to get those tech folks to hit the drum like it made fun of their momma.

More soon...
