Worked today on adding material to the wikipedia site for Camden County College. This has been an ongoing side project for me, starting last year. When i started there was only 1 paragraph and a small list of "notable alumni" which some politico put up.

Now its a massive page encompassing more then ten photos, a video i took of the police academy flag raising ceremony, and text on all the different campuses. Maybe i will include a reference to my podcasts. Maybe.

Its going well.

National High School Rowing @ Cooper River

5/26/2012

A little piece of home, right here in South Jersey. The National Scholastic crew championships are here at the Cooper River in Cherry Hill. And here is a photo of my old HS team boats and tent. Apparently, in crew circles Chaminade is AWESOME. Who Knew? but for the last two days the town is filled with the yells and cheers of enthusiastic (and incredibly in-shape) teens.

All I have to say is ROOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!
