Today I started teaching my summer class- Machine Programming. I have taught this course for the three previous summers and am looking forward to making some changes and trying out some new ideas, one big project I just finished was my new course website- check it out http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~cs354-1

To celebrate my first day of work and my summer job, we headed to Bluephies. Mark heard about this restaurant from his advisor, Jude, and it was a great pick. Our favorite was the bread and butter appetizer- you have never had butter like this- it had a mixture of kalamata olives, cream cheese, and sun dried tomatoes- I can't wait to try it at home (we got two helpings). Mark got a tomato rich pasta dish and I got a wild mushroom pasta dish with a large assortment of herbs (basil, rosemary, pepper) with lovely wavy fettuccini.
