Greetings to those who are interested in computer science @ BMC!

This is a new mailing list for you to use to easily communicate with 
other students that have either declared a major or minor in Computer 
science or Computational Science, or have expressed interest to do so. 
To send a note to the list, simply send it to 
compsci@emergent.brynmawr.edu. If you know of others interested in 
hanging out with us, invite them to join at:

http://emergent.brynmawr.edu/mailman/listinfo/compsci

There are some upcoming events that you might be interested in related 
to computer science:

- Tonight is a special showing of "2001: A Space Odyssey" at the newly 
remodelled Bryn Mawr Film Institute on Lancaster Ave. This is an 
interesting moving exploring (among many things) an intelligent computer 
named HAL. This classic 1968 film is beautiful, long (148 minutes), 
interesting, and a little weird at the end. But you don't get to see it 
on the big screen very often! I'll be going.

- On Thursday, September 15th, 5:30-9pm at Thomas Great Hall, we will be 
building a spontaneous supercomputer out of a bunch of laptops. Should 
be fun and interesting. The professor behind the "flashmob" 
supercomputer idea will give a talk in CS on Wednesday, September 14 
(time TBA).

- A computer science tea party. Details soon!

If you know of other activities that your CS cohorts might be 
interested, please send a note.

Welcome back!

-Doug
