MacSecret

 
Hey Everyone!

Want to know what the secret around Mac is?
Well it's MacSecret, of course!

What is MacSecret?
Well it is a way for you to design an anonymous post card revealing something about yourself.

What should I do when I'm done designing my postcard?
Drop your postcards into the MacSecret Mailbox located in CSD (Centre for Student development), Club-space, SHEC, QSCC, and the Health and Wellness Centre, MUSC B106.

Who to contact for more information or for more postcards?
If you have any questions or need more postcards, please fell free to email us at [email protected] om or stop by MUSC B106 (Health and Wellness Centre).

* If you feel like you need some additional assistance and would like to speak to a supportive person on campus, please visit the following resources on campus at anytime--they are here to help:

Centre for student development-- MUSC B107--ext. 24711-- http:// csd.mcmaster.ca
Campus Health Centre--MUSC B101--ext. 27700-- http:// www.mcmaster.ca/health

** While we respect the right to free speech, please note that we will not display postcards that we feel promote hate, intolerance or harassment to any person or group. Please keep this in mind as you create your postcard.

Happy Writing!!!

mac secret-Yay
Hey, this is a really good idea. I think writing down stuff helps people work thru things, and other people with the same issue feel like they aren't alone.

they're going to be put on display around campus in the glass-enclosed bulletin boards, or maybe at a coffee house or display in the student center atrium...that way other Mac students can see what people are thinking about

I feel like I've seen something like this before.

I mean no offense though. I like the idea of posting them around campus. If I had any artistic talents I'd probably submit one.

Actually, maybe I'll submit one anyway.

Ya, in the MacInsiders twitter post they directly referenced PostSecret. I'm pretty sure the Mac version is intentionally and openly based on it.

it'd be much easier if we set up a site where people can post anonymously and rant and all that business like they have at waterloo: OMGUW

it's rather funny and an excellent procrastination tool.

I feel like putting these online is a better idea. Most people rush around campus or sit put in one place..not wander around reading the stuff in the cases etc. That way, when you're procrastinating you have something interesting to look at. I already love reading Postsecret, so this too would be cool.
