Here's a little neat thing I just found out about:
Heard of Google's new piece of hardware called Chromecast? If you haven't, it's a small streaming stick that you hook up to an HDMI port on your TV, and it lets you stream videos from Youtube and Netflix using your smartphone or tablet, and it only costs $35.
It was found out that they hid an easter egg in the code for the device, "H2G2-42", a reference to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. And according to a post on Facebook I just saw, there was also a familiar acronym they used for the power adaptor that comes with it:
Now how about that? Pretty cool little reference! Nice to know Google has some fans too.

I believe that's the same model the SOL has hooked up to the Hexfield Viewscreen.

Another update since it's somewhat related, I had ordered this Chromecast thingy last week and I just got it today (Kind of surprising since it sold out quickly and wasn't supposed to ship until later next month), and it actualy works very well! I can also confirm that it does indeed have "MST3K-US" printed on the power adaptor. I mostly got the Chromecast with the prospect of streaming MST3K episodes uploaded on Youtube right to my TV, so I'll have to try that sometime soon.
