[buug] BerkITP Locations, Evans, Talks - 12 hour update

[Glen Jarvis]

As a side note, if you don't know the Berkeley campus very well and  
have an iPod, there's an audio tour you can download to your iPod: "http://itunes.berkeley.edu/ 
". I've only just moved to California six months ago, and had never  
attended Berkeley. However, because I really enjoy academics and did  
the audio tour a few times, I knew exactly where Evans hall was when I  
received this email.

It could be a fun "extra" to do today (outside of the BerkITP  
meeting), if you want to hear about Free Speech, see a dinosaur, learn  
about walking under Athena, and much much more..

Cheers,


Glen
