Hi fellow Clones!
Your Fall historian, Jordan Sullivan here :)
Ever noticed how Cloyne has hella murals? In fact, many of the coops do (and you can fulfill your HI hours by making one!) Tom, over at Quirky Berkeley, created a wonderful blog post on the first floor murals of our beautiful home <3 I’ve linked it below.

I come home to see a stranger painting on the walls. With a house this meticulously democratic, I wondered how the heck this random man was let to vandalize one of our oldest murals. After an exciting and nostalgia filled conversation – I learned of Peter’s past in Cloyne. Peter lived here his sophomore year at Cal, in 1985; he spoke fondly of his year here and swore if he didn’t decide to transfer schools to study film (a field not offed at Cal at the time) then he would have stayed at Cloyne until they kicked him out.
To the many, many fond memories this home hosts.
Happy Hannukah!
thanks Anya Schulman + company for the great challah
This Monday, a crew of excited co-opers impatiently waited for night to fall so they could begin the installation of KORUZA. Once the sun no longer lit Berkeley’s northside, the bright green laser beams of KORUZA took their turn. Through infrared laser beam communication, KORUZA now wirelessly connects the largest and one of the smallest co-ops in the BSC, Cloyne and Euclid. Developed and graciously donated by an open-hardware guru from Slovenia, KORUZA creates a innovative and darn-fast (1 billion bits per second) medium of communication from one house to another.
Dayum, look at all those motions!
Thank you Carlo + cook team for a wonderful first Council dinner. See y’all next week :D
Our tomato plants are fruiting like there’s no tomorrow. On your way to the kitchen, grab some of these babies and some cool herbs to make your co-op dish even more co-op-y!
*SNAPS* to Spring Garden Manager, Claire Parker, plus her wonderful garden crew!
On Sunday we made also our first link for the BSC mesh network. Cloyne-Kingman has now a nice WiFi link. It was an effort of 3 houses (Cloyne, Kingman and Wilde). Now we can slowly start thinking about inter-houses services like BSC talkshows.
