After having the fortune of having lab space dropped in our laps, a few colleagues and I have knocked our heads together to refresh it with new equipment, and a new name: The Media Park.  It’s still quite a few months away from an official relaunch, but today we got the ball rolling by setting up some amazingly sweet systems: two MacPro desktop machines that absolutely fly, and two top-of-the-line iMac machines.  We’re waiting on four more PC desktops armed with heavy artillery to arrive as well.  Once we’re up and running, it should be a community-centered space that grad students, faculty, and undergrads can utilize for their respective projects, host events, hold workshops, and much more.  We’ve got lots of plans for The Media Park, so keep an eye out for announcements.

Be forewarned: the following gallery includes gratuitous shots of men-at-work.
