Shout-Outs From Humber With Love.

One of the cool things about being an Alumni, that I still get a tingle from, is stopping by to hear some of what the school is up to in my absence. And usually, it’s about seeing the progression. Humber is no exception to the rule here. I would hear a bit about what was done in the Program Advisory Committee meetings, but nothing beats a good old fashioned hands-on update.


Humber’s Multimedia Design And Production Technician Program Coordinator, James Cullin(@cullin), decided to shout me out on his Friday Morning Update(December 16th, 2011) vlog post a few Fridays back. Thanks a bunch, sir! Wished we had these back in our 2003 run!

 

Shout-outs to Adam Chow’s work, also. That JQuery execution, on his site was pretty cool. I’m reading his Switch To Mobile piece as I wrote this.

We showed our Christmas spirit later in the game. The more Rudolphs, the better. This is pretty much from one of our planning meetings via Google+ hangout… or Power Rangers/Voltron Force All Talking At Once In Their Zords meeting. HTML5 fun with the canvas and video tags. Or is it?! 

 

 

 

 

This could be a perfect time to thank those who have been with us thus far and have a safe and wonderful holiday! For those of you who have supported #devTO in contributing to #hohoto, we would also love to thank you guys for your support. :) We had a blast and attempted to rep the team as best as possible there. Especially with our shirts.
