“Stallion” has 220 million pixels to display visualizations created by supercomputers at TACC.  We missed seeing this wonder on our last visit to TACC because it was having new software installed.

Maybe next time!

Our TSTC team 5G (one teacher and two students) went to Los Angeles as a part of the Tom’s Hardware Worldwide Overclocking Championship 2008. Although they didn’t win first, they put in a respectable showing and will probably compete again (and they got an all-expense paid trip to LA, as well).

Congratulations Team 5G!!!

Channel 25 out of Waco did a great story on our collaboration with Waco Independent School District on technical dual credit. My boss, President Elton Stuckly is interviewed and so is Donna McKethan from WISD.

You will also see students who are taking an integrated Math class that teaches math with technology. I blogged about that here.

You’ll find a good article here about the visit of our mobile alternative energy lab to Taylor High School. Energy guru Sid Bolfing took it on the road for the high school students.

OK. This is completely unrelated, but after this long election season we all need a laugh. I’d like to dedicate this post to my Philosophy prof at Howard Payne University. Dr. Wallace Roark.

You need to have REALLY liked the subject to enjoy the video. If you didn’t then just celebrate it as the end of the campaign commercial season.
