Not this year…
Well, I just had my take in the 2006 TechED Idols Contest, and I lost. In the third wave, five contestants got a chance, but a Belgian student gave a fancy demo as if he has been doing that all his live. Well, I've tried and I give myself credits for that. The judges thought that I did ...
