Tips for college students at HackCollege

by googler@evpl on Wednesday, September 17 2008, 11:33am

First off, I should explain that "hacking" no longer necessarily carries a negative connotation. In fact, its original negative connotation was a kind of misunderstanding. "To hack" means to come up with a creative or clever solution...

EVPL gives back to the community

by RatherBeReading@evpl on Tuesday, September 23 2008, 9:39am

Thoughts on a storm... Wow! Sunday September 14, 2008 was a wild one. The remnants of Hurricane Ike blew through Evansville and the surrounding area like, well, the remnants of a hurricane. I heard the winds reached 60+ mph as they whipped trees around...
