Wow my first post (in my new website). If you’re seeing this with less than 5 spots listed, good job you went to scavenge my website. If not, still nice to see you here after you got this from my email :)

I promised myself that I would not be like most graduate students who do not know their campuses beyond the paths between labs and offices and home. I like the idea that I know where all resources of an institution are. So I will be publishing my finds of cool spaces here so that I have a motivation to find new spots. To be totally transparent, I am going to be using this post as a reference for most of these spaces, but will be doing the work of finding them and taking my own photos. This post will be updated every time a new spot is found, so come visit this post back every now and then if you’d like.

Locations

I found this space in the 4th floor of Memorial Library that is this nice lounge with sofas and cubicles for studying.

This was supposed to be an opinion piece I have been thinking in writing for the last 8 months. It’s a subject I think a lot about for years, and at about 8 months ago, Hank published this video on Vlogbrothers talking about the ways the Internet is similar to other Media Revolutions in how it makes some people empowered to use populism as a tool to manipulate masses against established institutions (sometimes for good but most times, things were more complicated than the populist messages). It also talks about the ways the Internet is absolutely different from those other Media Revolutions.
