Last week I tried out a global-positioning system, a clip-on that superimposes a real-time compass onto any map, a digital voice recorder and a probe that checks variables like light, salinity and temperature.

As the night creeps on, procrastinators abound and the competition increases for the minute opportunity in the directoris chair. The view spans from Straus Hall to Abercrombie and the crosswalk in front of it, and the camera can zoom close enough to recognize...
