We have decided to proceed with working with Managed
DirectX since I didn't make any progress with Cocoa
and OpenGL over the summer.
I turned in the proposal last week, but we are
waiting on the committee to give the final ok.
In the meantime, I will proceed according to the schedule.
After next week, we will be meeting on a bi-weekly
basis.

Intermediate Language (CIL). We also talked
about how SJSU needs to start hitting up
some companies for used computers.
Tasks:
# Revise weekly schedule (break the
deliverable to its own line / include dates)

coding and some reading every week.
# Redo deliverables so that each deliverable
is a segment of code.
# Create UFO demo using Direct3D
# Draft slides that cover the groundwork
needed to get the Direct3D demo initialized.
