Living in a dorm can be a problem because there is usually limited bathroom space. If you happen to catch the time after dinner where everyone uses the bathroom at the same time you may be out of luck. Fortunately, the geniuses at MIT have concocted a website for one of their dorms that allows you to see which bathrooms are vacant.
They even inform you of how long the bathroom has been vacant so you can determine which one might have the “freshest” smell.
That’s been around forever. Still cool though, in a very geeky way.
That is a venture into the un-needed. Just like this one guy at work created a program that allows us to vote where we want lunch from, then once voting is over we place our orders. It’s cool; but I could just walk the three feet to cast my ballot (which I don’t eat lunch anyway, it is the worst meal of the day).
