Wednesday Tech Tips: College Life

This week's tips (both from Mashable) will help you graduates as you enter into college life.  Before you prepare for your big move in the time-honored fashion (buying Audrey Hepburn posters and those giant containers of cheez-balls at Target), take a look at these nifty gadgets that may give you a little more room in your teensy dorm.

*Well, they probably don't have the amazing toaster/coffeemaker/baconater combo, but the individual components are all there for you to cobble together your own breakfast station.
