[Year 12 IT Apps] Data visualisation for study results

Mon Jan 2 17:37:01 EST 2012

Thanks Bill,

This term break, I am learning how to ride a unicycle as I try to emulate
my cousin Roland Gesthuizen, with my share of falls and scrapes (kids can
ride these better than I can). Add to that the magic tricks I learned last
year then all I need is to learn how to juggle (mum still does it better
than me), goodness knows we get enough practice doing this at school..

I guess this year if any year 11 Info Tech students zip past me
on skateboards with threatening looks and hand signs, I'll dare them to try
it on one wheel whilst juggling homework or meeting dates.

Happy new year everybody :-)

Regards Roland
