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

Could your dog speak to you through technology?
Dr. Melody Moore Jackson, the director of the Animal Computer Interaction Lab at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, says that we're closer than ever to finding a way for your pet to talk to you.
Jackson is heading the project called FIDO or Facilitating Interactions for Dogs with Occupations, which helps trained service dogs use technology to communicate with their humans. While the project is intended for service dogs at this point, Jackson says she's trained her bichon frise to use the technology and she could easily see it coming to your home in the future.
