Random Update
* Vegan Drinks is tonight in the East Village. If you’re in NYC and want to get drunk with a bunch of vegans, here’s your chance.
* Den of Geek: 10 ways to make sure Pirates Of The Caribbean 4 gets it right. I like #9: “Cast Robert Downey Jr as something.” Have I mentioned recently how happy I am that he’s popular again? Plus, RDJ and Johnny Depp in the same movie would be the best thing ever.
* I’m thinking about the Master of Science in Internet Technology degree at Pace University. I could do it online and it doesn’t have any horrible prerequisites, and it would certainly be a good thing to have on my resume. I’m really annoyed that I can’t find any unbiased third-party information, reviews, or rankings about the program, though. Plus it’s expensive and I don’t know if I’ll have time for it next year between full-time work, SuperVegan, and Writercon. Hmm.
* Speaking of Writercon, we should have an announcement soon. Please cross your fingers!

Speaking as someone who hires lots, I am usually suspicious of degrees from online programs. People I interview with an online degree seem like they were seeking credentials for the sake of same, without actually immersing themselves in hands-on use of the tech. I would (and have) rather hire someone because of stuff they’ve actually built and done.

Thanks for your advice.
The same degree is offered via both in-person classes and online classes. It’s a degree in Internet Technology, so the actual work is done online either way.
Between working full time and having to give Lucifer his shot twelve hours apart, there is no way I can take classes in real time.

I know! I had pretty much given up on him, and now he’s back and more awesome than ever. :)
