Innoblue, a student-run entrepreneurial group at Penn State has a list of startups founded by PSU students and alumni. It's not restricted to those still in the area though.

The same goes for recruiting.

I'm a student at Penn State which is a ranked CS school, but not necessarily Stanford or MIT. I noticed a stack of Fog Creek recruiting pamphlets in the lobby to our CS building. Inside each one was a signed letter from Joel. Students are inundated with literature at career fairs and events, but this was the only one I read entirely and then saved.

It appears possible to compare two album covers that were created by the same generator (some of them have pretty distinct styles). Not sure if this was considered, or how it factors into scoring.
