I saw Terri Binion tonight at Imperial Wine Bar at Washburn Imports on North Orange. She plays folky Americana songs, and has a fantastic voice. She’s been in and Central Florida for a long time, but has also toured nationally and played with some greats. She knows what she’s doing. She handled the loud, chatty […]

Every first Monday of the month, The Public House near UCF hosts a jazz jam. Some great local musicians come out! Last night they even had some flute and vibraphone!

Volunteered at our local National Center for Simulation (NCS)’s 2019 Hall of Fame Induction. This year they inducted: Dr. Peter Hancock, Dr. Randall Shumaker, and Michael Tschanz. In previous years, they have inducted the following modsim leaders. It was refreshing to see so many people from so many industries supporting the modeling and simulation community!
