Noice is a blog about the undergraduate culture and life at Harvard (and occasionally some other equally noice stuff).

Well, this is just great timing. Everyone arriving at Terminal B at Logan Airport in the next few days should be aware that there will be no Silver Line service running from that terminal. Instead, “Massport shuttles” will run, and those might take forever.
It was announced last Thursday that keyed Adobe products are no longer available on the FAS Software Downloads website. This means no more free Photoshop, Illustrator, or Dreamweaver for students. This means students will have to resort to using Harvard’s computers to access this software for free. This means students will have to resort to looking at fugly ass posters. This mean students will have to resort to pirating the eff out of everything.
Rumors have made the rounds that Adobe simply asked for way too much money ($5mill) in licensing their products to Harvard. And with Harvard’s budget in the craphole, Harvard was like, “LOL THAT’S RILL FUNNY, FORGET IT.”
Let’s pour out some liquor for the aesthetically pleasing posters, programs, websites, etc. that will never make it into this world. Or our campus. Whatever.
At The Voice, we love to blog. A lot. So it’s no surprise that we found many within our ranks have been keeping blogs this summer to document their travels (or non-travels). So if you’re curious as to what we’re all up to and why this particular blog has been quiet as of late — it’s because we’ve been blogging elsewhere!
Here is a handy directory of which Voice member is blogging where, and about what.
Kathleen French ‘13 Everyone Is Drunk – “General musings on the world’s often unintentional hilarity.”
Suzanna Bobadilla ‘13 Nearly Fluent – A blog about Suzanna’s time in Uruguay researching the Plan Ceibal, a program that has given a laptop to every elementary school study, along with following the World Cup…of course.
Shadai Graham ‘13 La Dolce Vita – Shadai’s summer in Italia
Alisha Ramos ‘12 Alishalisha.net – A collection of interesting bits and bobs, powered by Tumblr. Bows & Ivy – Personal blog, recent entries about her time in London
Do you keep a summer blog, or a personal blog? Let us know in the comments!
We get a lot of crazy people submitting to Harvard FML. Mostly high school students. Who are extremely confused about the fact that Harvard FML is indeed, only for Harvard students.
#1: Miley Cyrus’s new music video. Homegirl needs to chill and quit trying to be like Rihanna/GaGa/Britney and stick with making music vids in sparkly tunics and leggings. YOU ARE FIFTEEN YEARS OLD*, for Godssake.
*We actually don’t know how old she is, nor do we care.
#2: Tyra Banks pretends she’s rabid. Yeah, exactly what you think it is.
Eliot House held a special outdoor celebratory barbecue fest in honor of Anna and Lino, the outgoing House Masters. Eliotites donned t-shirts in honor of the rockstar House Masters while enjoying food and watching performances by student bands and musicians.
Here is a video of the Eliot House tutors performing a rap in honor of Lino and Anna.
Is the departure of Lino and Anna the end of an Eliot era? Probably. Will the new House Masters live up to their names? Probably not.
Want to see an innovative, non-convential theater piece created by a recent grad? Then check out The Untitled Project, conceived by Calla Videt ’09 and playing at various locations around Harvard square.
Calla Videt was born in New York City but spent most of her formative years in Singapore and Europe, where she gained a fascination for non-conventional ways of creating theater.
Calla, who graduated last spring with a special concentration in theater and physics, was heavily involved in both performing and directing during her time at Harvard. Her senior thesis consisted of a show which she wrote and directed on the Loeb Mainstage, entitled The Space Between. Unlike that work, which made heavy use of various forms of multimedia, Calla told us that Untitled Project is more of a simple, text-based piece, which she feels is the most meaningful to her as an audience member. Without giving away too much about this unique theater experience, Calla emphasized fluidity and spontaneity as some of the most prominent aspects of the show. In fact, while Calla conceived the original idea for Untitled Project, her cast of actors wrote much of the actual script during the rehearsal process. Calla also mentioned that audience feedback would be crucial in the creation process, and that the story might change entirely by the time the show continues its run in New York.
The Bee Club (for freshmen: it’s a female final club) is in trouble. The club emailed male members of final clubs today asking for donations. The reason? The Chabad offered The Fly Club for Gentlemen $6 million for the house on 45 Dunster Street, which they currently rent out to The Bee.
According to the sources, the sale is still up in the air. Some say the sale is highly unlikely, as Fly alumni have daughters in The Bee Club.
But to sum up the irony for you: some of the richest girls on campus are begging rich boyz for money. DISCUSS.
Addendum: Note witty title and appreciate.
