Welcome to Mossy Bits

Mossy Bits is the Computer Science and Engineering department's nearly annual graduate student online creative arts journal. This journal is intended to be a creative outlet for the department's graduate students, and nearly all forms of creativity are appreciated. Past submissions have included poetry, short fiction, essays, travelogues, contests, music, drawings, photography, and computer art, but anything that is reasonably entertaining and is transmissable over the Web is fair game.

Little is known about the origins of Mossy Bits. It was originally a spoof of the department's far more sensibly named newsletter, Most Significant Bits. It has since undergone various modifications and mutations, including the change to a Web format last year. Since this format allows submissions that would never have been publishable on paper, such as music and animation, and allows far more people to view the journal, Mossy Bits will continue to be published on the Web for some time.

So welcome, and we hope you enjoy our journal. If you have any questions, comments, complaints, or suggestions, feel free to email us at mossy-bits@cs.washington.edu.
