Please Please Please return my wallet
To whoever took my wallet from the bouldering cave at 9:30, 10/3/05, I dont care who you are, just please return it to Box 540. The $300 was from my first art sale and the wallet contains very sentimental items that I am very shaken to have lost. I dont care who you are, I am simply appealing to your decency.

Yellow Noise!!
This and every wednesday from 5:30-8:00 come to the lemelson design shop for the Yellow Noise workshop.

The workshops are aimed to familiarize students with electronics for the purpose of art and music. We will use electronic modification or "circuit-bending" in order to give students the opportunity to create their own electronic instruments. Later in the semester workshops will range from building tone generator circuits to building guitar pedals and electronic filters. This is entry level electronics for immediate application without any steep level of theory.

CBD Student Group Meeting!!!

The CBD Student Group will meet this Wednesday at 5:30pm in the ASH lobby!!! Free food and an enlightening persentation by a fellow student!!
