Walking to Carl's, I noticed two facilities people looking at a TV monitor. I thought that was kind of odd; while there's always filming going on at USC, usually it's not the maintenance people doing it. Looking closer, though, they were using a tool called a SeeSnake. Aside from the monitor, they also had a spool of cable, one end of which was stuck down into a presumably clogged drainage pipe. That end contained a camera and a light, and they were using it to scope out the source of the blockage. That's cool stuff. I want one.
