A new Extension School blog: ClueHQ

I've mentioned other ALM bloggers in the past (see Priorities: An ALM Management student takes a break and Another ALM thesis is progress) but recently discovered the first blog written by someone in the Harvard Extension School's undergraduate ALB program. ClueHQ was started late last week, and the author is focused on information technology:
So far, I haven’t found a better program for non-traditional undergraduate education. The classes are rigorous and relevant. Many of my courses have focused on the theory of computer science but a few classes focus on more practical aspects of computer science, like programming in a particular language or working within a particular development environment.
The author of ClueHQ wants to earn a master's degree in CS, and is currently looking at the Columbia CVN program, a distance ed program that's part of Columbia University's School of Engineering & Applied Science. The Harvard Extension School's ALM in IT program isn't a good fit, for reasons outlined in the first post of the blog entitled Earning a Masters Degree in Computer Science via Distance Education.
