mobile "L" check'a @04:38 PM

I woke up, messed around on the computer for a bit, read some Far Side. Then, suddenly inspired, had to walk all the way downstairs with my overflowing laundry basket, only to find all the "L" machines in use. So I walk all the way back upstairs, dropping more laundry on the way back upstairs. The next trip, I had to check if the machines were open, then rush back upstairs, then back down with my L. I got the machines, luckily, but there have been plenty of times that I have been foiled on even these subsequent trips downstairs.

So I hate this. It was an especially large problem in college, or in previous apartments, where there was no elevator, and more bloodthirsty L-doers to be trifled with. Therefore, reading this article has been disarmingly relevant to my day so far. Check the status of the "L" situation from my phone. The perfect solution to these annoyances. More info is here.

Reminds me of this MIT Bathroom server, which is perhaps the best, most ingenious project ever.
