This poster maps out relationships between scientific disciplines using an algorithm. (relatively huge image) http://informationesthetics.org/documents/scienceMapPrintMockup.jpg It's artistic and educational. I think they have this poster for sale or you could probably get them to send a larger file to print on a large plotter since you're representing a school.

Would You Rent a Song For a Dime? 580

An anonymous reader writes "What's worse than a padlocking every song so that they will only play on certain devices? How about selling (renting) you songs that work on no devices? Astonishingly, this is what the music industry thinks we need. Warner Music is spending $20 million to back Lala, a startup devising a service to convince people to 'buy' 'web songs' for 10 cents each; these are then kept for safekeeping only by Lala with no download privileges. Industry insider Michael Robertson leaks the facts on this scheme, along with a seekrit URL so you can try it out."
