A recent project: working with University of Oregon computer science professor Michal Young to develop graphic interludes for open-source computer science textbooks.

Interlude 1, “Conquering Harder Problems with Abstraction” in the CS 210 textbook

Two people climbing, as a metaphor for abstraction in computer science.
The two people realize, it's never going to be easy, but they'll get the excitement of tackling harder problems

Interlude 2, “Careers in Computing,” in the CS 210 textbook

Interview question: What is your career?
Interview question: What set you on that path?
Interview question: What do you find rewarding in your work?
Interview question: What does getting stuck look like in your work? How do you get unstuck?
Interview question: What advice would you send back to yourself as a student starting off in computing?
