The missing girl was recovered in NH and is ok, the amber alert was canceled.
So the Tech-No-Logic crew (Erik and I) went down and waited in line for the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 at the midnight opening. There were at least a couple hundred people there which made me feel slightly better about myself. The wait was about 45 minutes and it was rather anticlimactic after receiving the game but whatev’s, I have it and it’s awesome. Be sure to tune in on Wednesday at 5pm for our live show where we will bring you all sorts of CODMW2 info as well as my review. Well I am going to go play the hell out of this game for the rest of the night and likely will not go to any classes for the next few weeks. Later – Zack
Sorry to all our adoring online fans, Ustream is currently not working, it’s not our fault this time. We will keep working to get this going. We especially apologize to Mrs. Baras and the Torres Family.
Ustream is back up and running!
UVM Rescue tending to occupants of a motor vehicle crash on Main Street near Living and Learning building.
At approximately 6pm a minor motor vehicle accident occurred on Main Street in Burlington. It appeared all occupants were uninjured and damage looked minimal. This is a location where many accidents take place, as you may remember just a couple weeks ago where the traffic light was destroyed from a late night hit and run.
Do you hate standing out in the cold wondering when the CATS bus is going to arrive at your stop? Well now there is a solution. Blirp it, the new online, text, and Iphone app can tell you exactly where the bus is on campus and how long it’s going to arrive at stops. The site, uvm.blirpit.com, is still in beta but I fired it up today (even though I am currently sitting in 75 degree F Austin, TX) and right there in my browser was a google map with the bus route and a indicator that moved with what I assume was the actual position of the bus. We will be featuring this story early next week to get more details and exactly how this works.
So we obviously did not go live in Texas today. We have a good excuse, we actually spent the afternoon into the evening storm chasing over 250 miles through Texas heartland. It was amazing, no tornado’s, but overall an incredibly fun adventure. We will have a segment early next week on our storm chase so be sure to check it out! We will be at the convention for the next two days meeting students from all over the country and learning how we can serve you, the UVMtv audience, even better. We will continue to tweet live from Texas so be sure to follow us.
UVMtv Today will have the honor of having a part of the show live from that big old state of Texas. Jeremy and Zack are attending a media conference and will be telling us all about their big adventure tonight! So tune in on channel 12 or watch us streaming over the web for some Texas-sized action tonight.
Brent Carden, a former UVM student, was sentenced to 6 months in prison for his part in a Cocain ring at a former UVM fraternity. Carden will also serve 4 years probation and pay a $4,000 fine. The sentence was the result of drug dealing case at the Lambda Iota fraternity. Two other members of the fraternity were also sentenced for their parts in the case.
