@Huh? “Cool lighting technology”? Different parts of the sign just light up in succession to produce the final, completely lit image. That sounds so 1999 to me.
In my day, bus stops were just green metal poles stuck in the sidewalk with the sign up at the top. The times they are a-changin’…
@anon speaking of what they do and dont have on campus, what the hell ever happened to the chairs and computers in the Lerner lobby. I think ive seen this mentioned on Bwog once or twice, but not nearly enough. Are they gone forever? Another inexplicable annoyance, like the closing of half the entrance doors into that lobby during half the months of the year?
And would it kill them to use the Butler flatscreen TVs for something other than worthless library self-promotion\ads? CNN, or FoxNews:)?
@i think putting CNN/MSNBC/Fox News on the Butler flatscreen is an excellent idea. I guess Fox News would be too controversial – although it would be funny to see the crazies get their panties in a bunch over it.
@Will The close those doors in Lerner to cut down on the amount of cold air that gets blown into the lobby. If they were open, during the winter, the entire 212 area would be ridiculously cold… that’s bad design for you, just like everything else there. And as for the computers, I remember reading somewhere that they were gone for good, because people were using them for too long and getting in the way. Thank you, administration.
@Anonymous old news? yes. but still terrible and worth the pause. its ugly and a waste. the only place it would actually be worth placing is on emory’s coca cola campus.

@JWeg bwog failed to mention the coolest part of that bus stop ad: it’s bluetooth enabled! You can download pepsi promotional material from it!
The cool lighting technology, btw, is from this company: http://www.lumigraphics.net

@homeless some bag people were using them to play online games or look at porn for hours on end…they also liked sleeping in the leather chairs.

@b@b rules life 1 [agree]
@agreed one of the science buildings had cnn on their flatscreen. don’t know why not in butler, though…
@seas Mudd, the throne of SEAS, has over four flat screen monitors in the lobby – boasting CNN, Zvi Galil’s announcements, and so on.
But you CC kids didn’t know that, did ya?

@this is interesting why? the new bus stops were put in months ago and a sign that is backlit is hardly an innovation.
did you hear they have the internet on computers now?
