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

"If you travel a lot, and watch what folks are doing on airplanes, you'll find them playing Solitaire or Bejeweled on their iPhones," said Ian Bogost, professor in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication. "They're games that don't have anything to do with the travel experience, because really, when you're traveling, you just want it all to go away; you don't want to think about the fact that you're on a plane."
