In case you have no plans for Friday night:
Visit CSS Diner! Bring a friend to this table-for-two experience. If you are new to CSS selectors, no worries, the chef is super-helpful.
The Green Bean Maker Module™ lets you build your own controls for GE Appliances. For $20, you can buy a little circuit board which connects to a variety of GE appliances (refrigerators, water heaters, stoves, ovens, etc) and your computer (or a Raspberry Pi). Via their node.js SDK on Github, you can get data from or control your appliances. Pretty cool.
Need a house in a hurry? Gizmodo tells us that the answer might be Wikihouse: open source building plans online for anyone to download, designed to require only the most basic knowledge of construction to create.
The Ascom Myco™ (My Companion) provides intelligent patient alert handling for nurses, health caregivers, and other clinicians.
This last one is just a personal indulgence. Have you seen the campy GE lighting ad featuring actor Jeff Goldblum? (I’ve been a fan ever since I saw him in Earth Girls Are Easy.)
