8:39 AM: I'm waiting at 19th and Taraval for a bus to take me to California Street. I'm heading to the UCSF Laurel Heights campus for an all-day conference (they call it a "retreat") to plan the vision of student computing. 5:15 PM: The retreat is a success. Kevin S walked us through exercises helping us understand the scope of the issues, the people and groups involved, our strengths and problems, the threats and opportunities. Christina C assisted with notetaking on the giant posters and Post-It notes. They both did a fantastic job, and I think a lot of good will come of the meeting. Kevin kindly gives me a ride home. Linkchecking from home. Patrick had his first day of classes in the TESOL program at SFSU. He's taking Chinese, Structure of English, Language in Context, and Second Language Acquisition.
