Welcome to New Frick!

We are now moved into New Frick, yay!  Please feel free to post any pictures you have taken of the new lab.  We will have upcoming contests, madlibs and member profiles in the new building soon.  Until there, here are a few pictures I have taken.  Excuse the quality, they are from my phone.

Happy glassware redistribution day!


In a higher phase of communist society, after the enslaving subordination of the individual to the division of labor, and therewith also the antithesis between mental and physical labor, has vanished; after labor has become not only a means of life but life's prime want; after the productive forces have also increased with the all-around development of the individual, and all the springs of co-operative wealth flow more abundantly—only then can the narrow horizon of bourgeois right be crossed in its entirety and society inscribe on its banners: From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs!
-Karl Marx, Critique of the Gotha Program, Germany 1875


I. Nothing in society will belong to anyone, either as a personal possession or as capital goods, except the things for which the person has immediate use, for either his needs, his pleasures, or his daily work. II. Every citizen will be a public man, sustained by, supported by, and occupied at the public expense. III. Every citizen will make his particular contribution to the activities of the community according to his capacity, his talent and his age; it is on this basis that his duties will be determined, in conformity with the distributive laws.
- Morelly, The Code of Nature, France 1755

Comrades Mike and Dave decided to dress up to celebrate this joyous day. Power to the people!

Contest

We have been a bit disappointed by the lack or participation in contests.  Because of that, I thought I would make this weeks contest quite simple.  It will only take 2 seconds to enter.  One entry per person please.  Deadline to enter is Monday at 4 pm.

The prize is this beautiful picture frame!  We will supply the picture.


And now for the contest.  You must guess what number I am thinking of between one (1) and twenty five (25) inclusive.  Integers only.  Whoever is closest when the contest ends will win the prize!

Blog Updates

In addition to the fish feeding application that Keith mentioned, I have added a couple of other features to the blog.  On the righthand side below the polls you will find tips to heal a broken heart. 


All the way at the bottom of the page you will find that you can play tetris while you learn tips to whiten your teeth!
