Zack Anderson and Russell Ryan over at MIT are playing hard, not sure where they find time to study.
Check out the elaborate dorm room automation system they have developed.

“What happens at 4:10 am when you have a bunch of MIT students hard at work? Naturally, they throw an instant party with their automated control system.

Since moving into my dorm this last fall, my roommate RJ Ryan and I have been working on creating the most elaborate automation system we could envision. Featuring everything from web control, voice activation, and a security system, to large continuously running information displays, electric blinds, and one-touch parties, the custom designed MIDAS Automation System has brought ease to our lives (if one doesn’t count all the time it took to actually build and program the system).”

Looking for a fun way to destroy all of those old CD-ROM disks that have confidential information on them. Give the Hammerhead a try!

“Hammerhead the CD thrower is composed of two main parts, the head that throws disks, and the tail which feeds the head with compact disks.
Two big “4×4 off-roader” (8466) wheels, rotating very fast, grip the CD as it is inserted between them by the feeder, and eject it on the other side. This mechanism is inspired by the LEGO disk thrower described in Ultimate Builders Set (3800), but much more powerful.”
