MIT Building Hack Ethos

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the fun-with-buildings dept.

The Boston Globe has a cool (but short) article on building-hacking at MIT. Timely, with April 1st coming up. Lesse at Hope I ... uh ... swore on the radio station! Woo-Hoo!

    Too bad the article didn't include any links to the Hacks page or any pictures.

    MIT students are notorious for this kind of thing. They're very good at April Fool's jokes especially. I can't wait to see what they do this year. A few years ago, they turned the clocktower into a giant beenie cap, complete with rotating propeller, overnight! That was probably the best one.

    At another school (Please tell me if you know which one...), the students rigged the electrical lines on one dorm so they could play Tetris: using the room lights as blocks.
