OK Go's Insane Rube Goldberg Machine Gets a Wicked Interactive Floor Plan
Gizmodo: "OK Go's video for This Too Shall Pass is bananas, thanks to an over-the-top Rube Goldberg Machine. We've gotten some behind the scenes info before, but this incredibly detailed interactive floor plan takes it to a whole new level."A Law School Raises Every Grade
Inside Higher Ed: "Loyola Law School in Los Angles has raised the grade of every student -- retroactively -- by one level (with every B turning into a B+ and so forth).

Steppenwolf Theatre Company Blog: "“I want a rain system at my house,” somebody said as we listened to the torrent of water on stage. It was the Friday evening of technical rehearsals and we were doing the first official test of the rain system we had installed for Marcus; Or the Secret of Sweet. “It looks and sounds so cool. I want that in my living room.”"
