Subject: [sudo-discuss] Today's menu

I made a little app and set up one of the old One Laptop Per Child
computers to show the next five upcoming omni events in the next 24 hours.

The idea is to mount it on the outside of omni as a sort of menu of the
day's upcoming events :)

The OLPC laptop is good for this because it has a special screen that turns
reflective when there's lots of light. It is fully readable both at night
and in the harshest California sun.

Here's the little web app (it's formatted for the smaller OLPC display):

Here's the code and write-up:

Now we just need a box with a thick layer of transparent acrylic to house
it. Anyone up for making one?
