...sold in three ring binders, rather than bound by tape or spiral, so students can more easily share and copy. Departments should make available copies of the compiled sourcebooks completely unbound and printed on single sided sheets. The University, or perhaps the Undergraduate Council, should buy extra high-volume hopper-fed photocopiers, which the students could use to make their own copies of the sourcebook material, in a way that legally exempts them from paying copyright. Whoever provides the copiers is likely profit handsomely in the process...
...hangover every morning at 5 o'clock when he and his wife head out to a large, chilly warehouse next door. He climbs up a loft, pulls out a 2-m-high bundle of blue-green straw called igusa, carries it downstairs and dumps it in the hopper of a weaving machine where it will be made into tatami mats. The Matsumotos have worked in Kagami, on the southern island of Kyushu, for three generations; it was igusa that turned a poor country backwater into a modern middle-class town, one of the wealthiest farming communities in all of Japan...

There was the elegantly creepy work of Floria Sigismondi who directed videos for shock-rocker Marilyn Manson (one featured him shaving his own armpit) and trip-hopper Tricky.

Jonze also...
Here's how the Slugbot works: a lawn mower-size machine with a long arm shines red light on the ground to identify a shiny, sluglike object, then analyzes its shape. When it finds a slug, it picks it up and drops it in a hopper. Bacteria inside the robot eat the slimy critters--a process that releases electrons that can be captured and, in theory, keep the bot's batteries perpetually charged...
Landscapers have also taken the extra precaution of clearing walkways with blowers to prevent small piles of fertilizer from building up. The white fertilizer pellets are spread by a wheeled hopper...
