I now have a M.S. in Computer Engineering. I've tried getting all my friends to call me "Master Holland," but no dice. Laurie and I are moving next week to Austin, where we've found a really nice two bedroom apartment ... http://www.wesleyholland.com/?p=77 Really, not too much has happened since my last post.
