LaundryView

Joli asked me the other day if I had any laundry I wanted to throw in with her stuff. I gave her a couple of undershirts. She gathered a few other things and her detergent, and, before going down to the basement of her dorm, she said, "You gotta see this."

She went to her computer and logged in to LaundryView, a website that tracks the availability of machines and the time remaining on the machines being used. The diagram of her laundry room (pictured above) looks exactly like it would if it were recreated in The Sims. When the machines are in use, they jiggle on the screen.
