This quarter: RFID is big
This month's Communications of the ACM has a nice collection of articles about RFID. And just last night, I saw a commercial that bragged the RFID-tagged boxes knew that the truck they were in was lost which was a bit funny.
For those of you who don't already subscribe to ACM, especially new students, I highly encourage you to follow the trends publications of ACM and IEEE as a good way to keep up with scholarly research and events. Student rates are pretty low and the subscriptions are partially tax deductible. I am sure the library allows online access from oncampus surfing and I would be glad to loan out any issues you maybe interested in. There are several other publications to look into but this is a good start.
Computers in Entertainment seems to be a good must read for our division and for all of you 3rd students who have to look into a potential outlet for publishing, this may be suitable. I know that we all go gaga over Siggraph and E3 for the show value but keep in mind there is lots of other stuff out there.

RFID is exciting - I would love to see an IMD library with RFID tags in the books for check out and tracking by user. Let's all put RFID tags on our USC IDs and run something like the Aula Cooltown experiment!
