Now that he has stepped away from Microsoft — first as CEO and then as board membernew Los Angeles Clippers owner Steve Ballmer will be driving down the California highway, teaching business classes as he goes. First up is Stanford's Graduate School of Business. According to Business Insider, he'll be "working with faculty member Susan Athey for a strategic management course called 'TRAMGT588: Leading organizations.'"

After Christmas break, Ballmer will pack up his 1970 Pontiac GTO, roll the windows down, blast the "Dirty Dancing" soundtrack, and drive 250 miles down I-5 S to teach a yet-to-be-identified class at USC's Marshall School of Business in Los Angeles this spring — just in time to catch the rest of the Clippers season.

Rock and roll, Steve. Rock and roll.
