Cannon Hack

Cannon Hack In my email this morning: The Howe Ser Moving Company cordially invites you to the official sendoff of the Caltech cannon. Our company has recently been informed that Fleming House is at MIT RIGHT NOW and is prepared to take back their cannon. Although were sad to see it go, we were only contracted to move the cannon here for CPW, and we respect the speed with which Fleming has responded. In their honor, we wish to afford them the grandest celebration possible. And thus another great chapter in MIT hacking history comes to a close. I, for one, was quite impressed with the students behind Howe Ser. For the memories, Ive below tallied some of the impressive media coverage the hack received, along with a photo by Jo Tong 08. Media Coverage: Los Angeles Times Boston Globe National Public Radio: All Things Considered Slashdot The Tech London Times The London Times article was accompanied by a comic: The latest update from my email: Apparently CalTech flew out a crew of 20 to retrieve the cannon, and took it away in a much less elegant fashion than the MIT crew. The Brass Rat, though, will remain at MIT.
