The Cut
Carnegie Mellon, I love thee, oh how do I count the ways?
Before I actually started attending CMU, I had never taken the time to walk across its campus. That was really too bad. It’s a really cool campus, with neat buildings, interesting topography, and lots of nooks and crannies to explore. I find new places to study (and new robots) every week.
This time of year the Cut (the big grassy lawn in the middle of campus) is really gorgeous, with marching bands and frisbee players scampering around. The weather is perfect this time of year, so the whole university community is competing for a space on the green, from pale physics PhDs to the sorority girls. Despite the faint views of the downtown skyline and the Cathedral of Learning, it doesn’t feel like its right in the middle of the city at all. Ahh, surrounded by ivory towers. Awesome …
So next time you’re wandering around the area, take a walk across the Cut (and bring a picnic lunch.) It sure is purty (and will make you wish you were back in school.)

Pittsburgh Signs Project
Until last year, there was a building on Penn Ave in East Liberty that had a sign painted on the side about Atari repair. It was such a great sign and I was sad when someone painted over it. Lucky for me (and you) there are some other people in Pittsburgh looking at signs. Check out
Pittsburgh Signs Project to see signs or submit pictures of your favorite signs.
