640K ought to be enough for anybody --William Henry Gates III
Windows 7 Install Fest & LAN Party
There is an ACM event this Thursday, November 5th at 6:00PM in the Muhly Lounge. We're hosting a Windows 7 install fest and a LAN party. Be sure to bring your computer! We'll be giving away copies of Windows 7 and Bawls energy drinks for free.
There is an ACM meeting this Tuesday, October 28th at 5:30PM in the Muhly Lounge. During this meeting we'll talk about a Free Windows 7 give away and we'll have a guest presentation by Professor Hourcade. He'll talk about his research with Human Computer Interaction and display a couple of examples of his work. There will also be free pizza!
Our next ACM meeting will be held Tuesday, October 13th at 5:30PM in the Muhly Lounge. Matt Gerton, an ACM member, will be leading most of the meeting with an Audio Mixing tutorial. We suggest that you bring a notebook computer with a Windows operating system to participate in the tutorial. However, if you're unable to bring a computer you're more than welcome to partner up with someone who does.
During our last meeting I mentioned that the ACM is planning to go to the University of Illinois (Champaign, IL) to a computing conference. It's called Reflections Projections, we'll leave Friday Oct. 16 and come back Saturday Oct. 17. If you're interested in going with the ACM please email iowa.acm@gmail.com.
Our third meeting will be Thursday, Sept. 24 at 5:30 p.m. in 3 MacLean Hall.
During this meeting we'll discuss a potential field trip to the University of Illinois, talk about a t-shrit design contest, and we'll have a presentation from Values Coach.
Values Coach is a motivational and leadership development company. I believe they are interested in possibly hiring for tech-related jobs, and they want to discuss their need for technology.
We'll kick off the year with small introduction of the ACM followed up with a guest presentation by Professor Chris Wyman. Professor Wyman will give an overview of how he uses computer graphics for research purposes. There will be free pizza and prizes!
Join the ACM on Friday, May 8th for our annual picnic. We'll provide burgers, brats, hot dogs, boca burgers, buns, and toppings. We ask that you bring a side dish or dessert to share. Food starts around 5:00 pm at shelter #1 in Upper City Park. Several members are also planning to meet in City Park around 3:00 pm to play frisbee, football, and other games. We hope you can attend.
