UC's DAAP building to get facelift

BY CLIFF PEALE • CPEALE@ENQUIRER.COM • NOVEMBER 4, 2010

"...the DAAP building has shown signs of wear, with seams ripping apart or puncturing and significant leaking, McGrew said. It also is crowded, with more students crowding into the building as UC's total enrollment has increased to nearly 42,000..."


20 million to prevent the building from ripping apart at the seams seems like more than a facelift to me, quite a bit more.

I'm not posting this to be a rabble-rouser, but I thought it'd be prudent to back up my "better-off in a double-wide" (if only temporarily) hypothesis with a bona fide factoid.

And there might be some general interest. Since we live there.

merry friday to all and to all a good night

What if you could take your trusty drawing pen and simply scan any color you want and then turn around and draw with it? This innovative pen design by Jin Sun Park allows you to do just that. Next step? A complete texture selector and replicator?
