Featured Topic: Music Meme

June 29, 2008 by Sal Atticum

This week's featured topic: Lips of an Angel - Hinder [music meme]. Check it out and add your own response!

A meme is a unit of cultural information that gets passed from person to person almost like a virus. This term (invented by evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins) has been modified by Internet users (primarily by bloggers and through email) to refer to any series of questions that gets passed around to be filled in (often through unorthodox ways) in order to learn more about people. In this case, the meme is a series of questions about your life, as you can see in the original post. In keeping with the virus terminology, people are often specifically "tagged" to answer memes (example).

Even though there are only a handful of people who have responded, it looks like Campus Dakota members have a fairly diverse selection of music. Below the fold is a list of bands that have already been named and some of the more amusing answers . . .

The Campus Dakota Team is Looking for Help!

June 2, 2008 by pmp6nl

The Campus Dakota Team is looking for help!

Look, we're good at what we do, but we can't do it alone. We want to make Campus Dakota as good as we can, and that means having more people involved.

We're looking for help in the areas listed below (in no particular order)--but don't look yet!

We know you're busy, and we don't expect everyone to put in as much time as Matt and Brian do (seriously, online for 18 days? Who does that?). That's why we've broken the Team up into smaller groups, so that even in that group, nobody has to do everything.

Now would be a good time to let you know we can’t pay you. However, the work you do for Campus Dakota will have a lasting and important positive impact on your fellow students. Additionally, we think good work at Campus Dakota is a great example of something serious to put on a future resume.

Take a look below and see who we're looking for--if you find something you can do, drop us a line (at webmaster@campusdakota.com). If you want to help but don't see something listed that you happen to be good at, let us know, because chances are you can still help out!
