For some reason I had not, until now, put Roland Piquepaille's site in the sidebar. It's like ZZZ except that it updates regularly and isn't occasionally full of entertaining but incorrect speculatory rambling. Lots of RFID and nanotech stuff. It's really very well done. Enjoy this article about the dorm laundry room web interface, which is (seriously) among the most useful, if obvious, inventions ever.

Northeastern has some great pictures of the drunken looting that followed the Super Bowl. (They're way funnier if you can manage to forget, for a moment, that one of the students was actually killed.) I found the whole series kind of fascinating, although I'm a bit unnerved by the appearance of my evil twin in picture #23. It sounds too ridiculous to be true, but at UVM we only ever had snowball fights---well, there was the one time a bunch of frat boys burned a shuttlebus, Beirut style, but that wasn't typical, and it was before I got there, anyway. Found on boingboing.net.
