Since yesterday was Memorial Day I posted something just a bit fun and saved my links post for today. I hope those of you in the US enjoyed a three day weekend and also found time to remember those men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country. I spent time with family including my World War II combat veteran father. I cherish all the time I have left with him as so many of his generation are now gone.
Now for some links.

A number of good articles in the Microsoft Boston blog including this one about how Microsoft’s Elevate America Community Initiatives are making a difference in the lives of Bostonians.

Have you read about the Microsoft Tech Student of the Month for May 2011? – Kevin Ballinas
I saw this interesting Tweeted link from @weemooseus “Red Hot: The Computer Science Job Market: (Ok HS, where are your CS teachers when your students need them?)” In spite of news stories like this I keep hearing of schools cutting back on computer science education. It doesn’t make any sense to me.
