Utah is pretty

On my trip to Utah I found out just how pretty Utah really was. Everyone had been telling me, but I wasn’t really listening to them.. imagine that. Between me and my dad we ended up taking quite a few pictures. I’ve posted them on the photos section of the site.

The open house was great. I finally got to see the faces behind the voices I’ve been talking to for the past month. Seeing some of the projects that the students had worked on in only their first quarter was amazing. A group created a phone application using VXML, a language I had never even heard of until I saw a Northface professor’s site, to allow a user to call up to a “doctor’s office” and get an appointment with a specific doctor using voice commands, talking to the program as if it were a person. It was very cool. I’ve already created a couple phone applications using vxml, it’s a very neat little language. I’m very excited to go and experience everything that Northface has to offer me. I can’t wait.
