I'm not sure if anyone else has heard of this yet, but there is a new blog by Vassar Students entitled "Life in the Nine". The Nine corresponds to the nine dorms on campus. 20 students participate regularly, giving the site the tagline "9 houses, 20 voices, 1 blog". They talk about pretty much anything to do with the college or the dorms, and in this way the blog acts as a decent reservoir of information. Also, I am personally very interested in technology's ability to shrink physical space (for those of you who haven't read Schivelbusch's "The Railway Journey", I'd highly recommend it), and despite the close vicinity of the dorms, the attraction of the internet prevails. If you guys want to check out it out, here it is.
Also, I find this video somewhat relevant to our class.
