Display Window Due this Friday! Gillian, pls b careful w/whatever you displace from current exhibit; find homes for whatever; be careful that all parts of a device like the theramin are taped together, but not in a way that mars the surface of the wood, etc. NOTE TO ALL: the lids of the old Rx jars are fragile and just sit on the top, so don't grab the jars there, and don't expect the lids will stay there when you move the whole thing. I've already broken some. Pls glue back together when you see it. Use care and craft. Pls send DGr & XT photos!

Mobius Floe Working on adding old terrain to new MF; tiling -- add tiles barriers (verify from Ari what he means by tile barriers), altered tiles so they can "plug into" each other (look like they are merged). Locate "original" map of the landscape w/tiles, print it out so that we can draw on top of it in real space.

Pain Lab printed matter & swag keep looking for ideas and bring ideas in, hang them on side of your desk, etc. Brain icon on hold pls collect more if you see any
