The Digital Kind of Dorm Experience

Would you like your dorm room to be the most popular hang-out spot on a Friday night? You could start by sharpening your social skills and making friends...or you could just do what Zack Anderson and his roommate RJ Ryan did. Two words: PARTY MODE. This absolutely crazy, yet completely awesome applications of electrical and computer engineering, as well as computer science, puts most college dorms, even the wild ones, to shame. Check it out: blinds, lights, music all create a complete party experience with a push of a button. The security camera set-up is also glorious and a very smart idea too with the RAs walking around.
Clearly, this is not your typical dorm room experience, and not all of us are able/want to build a system like this. I think however that it is a wonderful way to utilize technology in practical matters of the daily life and a solid approach to the dorm experience.
