Say it isnt true !

It looks like concept of the thing that will stand in front of Ulman (see previous post). And I pray it is just someone's sick fantasy that will never come true. Because this thing would be the most ugliest thing ever to stand in Technion. Even Sperm Square look beautiful compared to THAT.

Statue, fountain or hole to the center of the earth ?

In fact I just thought of another option ... remember Lost and the Hatch... I am sure Technion just build new station to watch us ! But still I wouldn't be surprised to see enourmouse statue standing on it, surrounded by weird shaped fountain which take it's roots from the earth core.

One thing though that is undoubtedly true... If it will buldge out even one centimeter it will hold gigantic plate with bunch of weird names of dudes that wished to disturb the harmony of Technion beauty.

Announcment

Dear readers, I wasnt updating my blog for so long because I had very rough semester. And though I do have some time now ,my study torment finally going to end, and so I will be leaving realm of technion in a month (so I hope at least).
I could update all the Tech stuff we missed last semester but I need some comments from you (In case after 4 month of silence you still visit this page).

And most important thing . If any one want to catch up and post here things about Technion ,please you are most welcome. Just send me an e-mail
( TechnionFun@gmail.com ) so I could grant you access to posting.

Mizrach Upgraded !

New grocery has been opened this week in Mizrach Hadash



I actually have mixed feeling about this store. On the one hand it is nice that you dont need to go far to get drunk after failed exam. On the other hand it is pretty far to go the doctor to fix your dropped jaw after you see the price tag.

p.s if you wondered it is the branch of the Gaza store with all the good and bad you had there...
Piece of advice: check the expire dates before you are buying something

Run Student Run

Technion solved world energy problem. This ingenious solution was launched 2 months ago and since then running without a fail.
As you can see human shaped creatures running on especially designed road to provide electicity throughout Technion.
But not just it brings free energy to its creators, they also reveive money for that ! Can you imagine that those running ceatures voluntarily willing to pay for the privilege of running.
Indeed Technion Inc. can proudly call itself as the 1st one to invent perpetuum mobile

This marvelous installation has been placed between tennis courts and sports hall.



Prototype

Gate of Fire

It's been almost a week that this remains are lying near the lowest gate of Mizrach Hadash.
At first glance it seems like another desperate attempt to escape the Technion. Somebody speed his bike up and crashed into the Gates of Despair though dying but destroing it... Yeah.. rright.. Like it could happend in our plane of existence.

The truth seems more prosaic. If I recall correct this sign wasn't there up until before that burnt salvage appeared. So my version is - someone drop alite cigararette and caused the fire.

Ulman report

I am going to finish up review of my Ulman Visitation.
This is how classroom look on 4th floor (first class on the left). It's look like they are going to build dance club there.
But the rumor said that all the destruction is made for Dean office. Who knows, may be it's true.



I dont know for how long it's been there (Ulmann 3rd floor). But I found this picture rather extraordinary. Starting from the fact that is very big and kinda .. out of place. It has lively colours, but simple graphics (IMO). So you decide is it good or bad... I dont know.

Not Fun

I made a little trip to the Ulmann and found there a lot to write about.
Sad things first. Some boy crashed on a bike and didnt survive. And someone made him little memorial.
Strange that this time they didnt cover up student death (as the usually do). Probably because it didnt happend inside Tech gates.

p.s Big white paper says - He was Rakaz Akademai and Nacig Semester

Hail to the Hail

Weather continue to bring us surprises. Last year it was wind and fog - This year it is Hail and Snow.
I bet this Hail was casted upon us by some wizardry. Imagine sky without a single cloud and 5 min later the most crazy and powerful head hail you have ever seen. And 5 min afterward - like nothing ever happend.





P.s Guys on the last picture - sorry for picture being blurred. There is link to another picture like this - in comments

p.s.s If you have any other pictures or videos of this weather crazyness - dont be shy and send it to TechnionFun@gmail.com - and I will post it.

Snow In Technion

Finally we could get a glimpse of how the real winter should look like.
Snow in Haifa - something I thought I will never see , and still it was here, couple of days ago.

Moshe FYI yourself

Date: Thu, 3 Jan 2008 12:23:05 +0200
From: Moshe Barak
Subject: FYI: Video server is open from out of campus and the wireless network

Shalom,
Technion management has decided to open access to the video server and online lectures from
out of the Technion network and from the wireless network.
As the strike ends, such access will again require identification with a smart card.
Taub Computer Center

Date: Thu, 3 Jan 2008 15:08:29 +0200
From: Moshe Barak
Subject: FYI: Access to video server policy

Shalom,

In continuation to the previous message on this subject, Technion management has decided that due to copy right issues in regard to the video server content,

regretfully, it is not possible to open this service to ‘the whole world’ at this time.

We regret the confusion and would like to remind that video broadcasts can be watched by using a smart card for self identification.

Virtually,

TCC

Do I need to add anything to this idiocy ?
I remember the time when Technion got Nobel prize , and Moshe wrote to everybody something like - how proud he is that Technion got Novell prize...(נובל)
It would be funny if it wouldnt be so sad.

P.s When you see FYI from TCC you probably think it means "For your information", but in fact what he means "Fuck you idiots"

Technion Lecturers are bored

Technion Lecturers are really bored. They have so much time doing nothing they begin to do astonishing usless things.
According to THIS news site "Technion Israel Institute of Technology researchers announced they have successfully put the full version of the Hebrew Bible, with vowel points, on a region measuring 0.5mm², an area smaller than the size of a pinhead."
Dudes our studying program goes to toilet and you do this.. duh..

The Great Technion Security

Technion installed security gates.In which they invested a lot of money and our time (gate was closed for half a year). Just watch how easily it was breached. All you need is finger.
