Hi everyone and welcome back to the Brave Rider Podcast after a very long intermission. Hello everybody I Noah, your host and with me is Julie Bogart, the mind behind Brave Rider.

Hi Noah.

It's great to be back.

Where have you been? What have you been doing the last six months?

I work in a bunch as always and I went back to college. I started, this was my first

semester back at the University of Cincinnati.

Tell us what you're studying.

Well, um, it was just preliminary, you know, prerequisite courses this time, but I am planning to go into computer science. That's

fantastic what do you want to do with that?

Program things. I'm not quite sure if I want to do games or if I want to do

open source work.

There's a group that works with local governments to open source their,

to basically free and open up their data so that people can get like bus route times or build

applications that track city ordinances and things and I think that's pretty cool.

Oh, that's awesome.

Yeah.

Yeah, well, it's great to have this time to be able to do

podcasting with you, but there is also a sad note attached to our

podcasting relationship. Can you tell us what's about to happen?

Well, my girlfriend, five and a half years, Amanda, was just accepted to the University of Connecticut's grad school program for

social work in Connecticut, Hartford.

And I have decided to move with her.
