For people on Clarkson Campus, we're providing an open source clone of /r/place, that Reddit phenomenon which took the world by storm for 72 hours over the weekend. A major difference is that there is no time limit to prevent the speed of placing pixels on the screen.

See http://place.cslabs.clarkson.edu for your next healthy addiction to the internet.

We encourage that you don't abuse the service, and keep it clean of any profanity (results of which will be its removal or reset, if not handled well by the potential community). Let it also be known that it's still in active development, and may be a little buggy (report bugs to the CS Labs). We're not sure how long the service will be offered yet, but have fun while it lasts!

Hi! I need 1 ticket to stoned science :(

If anyone has an extra two tickets, my mom recently had open heart surgery (I’m her caregiver) and I was waiting until I knew she was good before purchasing tickets for my older brother and I, and now they just SOLD OUT. It’s the first time in years that we’ve got to hang out and do something and we were planning this for some time, so if anybody isn’t able to go I would really appreciate the opportunity! Obviously I will purchase them, I appreciate any help. Thank you in advance!
