IMD I and II

BPA events - If you have something to wrap up, do it quickly, were almost done. 3D and web - fantastic job. I cant wait to see who comes home with hardware (aka awards) :-)

WIWTD - Some are doing well, some have fallen WAY behind. Use the time you have to get some work done. Blog your progress.

IMD I and II. Watch the three videos (02.flv, 03.flv, 04.flv) in the students/fitzer/website folder and take notes on the content. New for some, review for others. A quiz may follow.

Have a great day!
