There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

“The alien isn’t in the Roswell military morgue, or in the galactic far reaches...it's everywhere,” wrote Ian Bogost, professor in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication and director of the Graduate Program in Digital Media, in his recent book Alien Phenomenology. “To put things at the center of a new metaphysics…requires us to admit that they do not exist just for us.” Source: Design Observer - August 2, 2012
