Nobody Parties Like MIT Geeks

I saw this and immediately thought, “This is what I wanted to do back in the 80’s!” I had complete plans to redo my parent’s basement into what I called The Monkey House! But it looks like the MIT Crew has brought my dream to reality.

We’ve all had that moment where we want to just say, “Screw it! Enough work! Let’s party!” But, you have to set up the music, fire up the old fog machine and mood lighting, shut all the windows. By time your done, you have no energy left to party. So some ingenious people at, where else, MIT, came up with MIDAS. The best way to describe MIDAS is an emergency escape button.

If you are in a party mood, simply press the red party button. The blinds automatically close, music starts playing, display screen light up with music titles and messages, WinAmp visualizations come up on all the computers.

Check out the MIDAS website for some excellent photos and videos.
