Misc.
- Karl Reichard and several grad student performed sound checks in the lab. All looks very good! You can't hear any noise in the bigger PC lab. The only noise is coming from the door, and adding seals there will reduce that to almost nothing.
- John Messner's Proposal to create a virtual construction simulator was accepted by the NSF! The EGC had an instrumental part in the conceptualization of this grant. The EGC will continue to brainstorm with John throughout the development process. See http://gaming.psu.edu/node/834 for my thoughts.
