On the Road, Part 3

End of the road! Made it to Houston earlier today and got moved into the "Hack Shack."  Met my housemates, and now just waiting for day one of Coder Camps.  Class starts tomorrow, and after four days of nothing but driving I'm anxious to get back to coding.

My future posts will be of a more technical nature as I report on what I'm learning and projects I'm working on.
