[sudoroom] Higher Ed Hacking

[J.D. Zamfirescu]

Cool. If you're up for going, I'd definitely tag along to CS 164.
Unfortunately my travel schedule will cause me to miss lectures 2 & 3, but
maybe I can get a copy of the slides from somewhere, or maybe there will be
a video online.

First lecture is 1/22?
