Gillico’s latest project has been to set up and technically produce a network of blogs for a local, yet global, tech company by the name of Wind River. The new Wind River Blog Network is a platform for their employees (engineers, service techs, and generally smart folks) to blog about projects, concepts and ideas they are working on and interested in. We launch today, with fifteen blogs (and probably more to come). For those who are technically inclined, into programming, embedded systems, dynamic software optimization, linux, telematics, and other geeky stuff, there will be several items of interest within.

In any case, please visit blogs.windriver.com, where you will see a digest of all of the individual blogs, and then you can explore the individual blogs that you find to be of interest, and welcome Wind River to the blogosphere.

I will be a guest lecturer August 29th down at Stanford, taking over one of my friend Jerry’s Intro to Computer Science classes. I’m going to be talking about my life as a professional web designer, and giving an introduction to CSS usage and maybe some blogging. It’s the first time I have taught a class in the past 10 years, so I am both excited and nervous about it. However, I think it’s going to be fun, since we’re going to keep it simple and basic and just lay some groundwork.
