University of Houston Field Trip
R. Alex Whitlock
They're apparently doing a bit of work on E. Cullen. The cement pond is looking pretty good these days.
We apparently have two of these mad little critters in front of E. Cullen. They were donated by the Moores family, who created BMC software and, last I checked, owned the San Diego Padres.
This is where I spent most of my time at UH. The building to the left is now called the "College of Technology Building" presumably because they haven't found a Cullen or donor to give enough money to rename it. Maybe when I make fifty bazillion dollars with one of my neato inventions, it'll be the Whitlock building.
The building to the right is now called "Technology Annex" though that's recent, because when I went there it was called Tech and the COTB was called "T2"... I'm not sure how the building feels about the demotion.
Not that I'm shedding any tears. It's one of the University's oldest buildings and was not, shall we say, state of the art. T2 on the other hand, is reasonably decked out. They upgraded computers three times while I went there.
This is in the "Annex"... the two right-most postings were posted upside down. We're like Einstein that way. If it isn't technological or scientific, we don't know how to do it.
This is in the human resources building and I found it cute.
Went down to the UC Underground to get one of their awesome spicy chicken subs. Enter Starbucks, goodbye spicy chicken sub.
That wasn't there before.
Sigh.
For anyone who has read, tried to read, or intends to read Something So Perfect, a number of scenes take place right here, in the Quadrangle commons.
Observations
Any specific reason you went up to the old haunts and took pictures?
I appreciate the update via pics since I "don't get around much anymore".
Gotta remember to pick up tickets to our annual embarrassment in the Bayou Bucket.
Adam,
I was down there to turn in a slew of job applications and figured while I was there I'd take advantage of it. I'd thought of going over the summer to take some pics, but I remembered that they empty the cement pond in the summer so I figured I'd wait until school started back up, so the two coincided nicely.
Ulysses,
I thought that I might go to some UH games this year, but then I remembered since I'm not a student anymore I'd have to *pay* for them...

Comment spam is an ongoing problems that we're trying to address. Previously we required people to create accounts and log in. I am thankful to say that is no longer the case. We're giving Captcha another try and are playing around with a text-based Q&A variant of Captcha. So bear with us as we try to figure out how to best get a handle ont he problem. Please note that any comment on a post more than 30 days old will go into the moderation queue, where I will get to it when I can which could be once a week.
