Doing the laundry … via email

Posted by Daniel Stout on 1 February 2007 at 9:41 PM | 1 Comment |

The university here made a jump into the online connected world by offering students email alerts when their laundry is done. It’s all courtesy of a system called LaundryView. Students can go online and look for washers and dryers in their dorms that are currently not being used. They still have to load their laundry themselves, poor bastards. But they can walk away, and they’ll get an email update when the load is done. Slick. The Press-Citizen has the full story here.

The downside to the new service is that the price of doing a load of laundry went up 50 cents to pay for the software, which costs $13,000 a year apparently.

I just wanted to say that when I went on Google tonight to do research, and I looked up NAACP and L.B. 1024, this blog post popped up. It made me smile.
