What sort of geeky things are percolating under the Statehouse dome in Concord? More than you’d think, including self-driving cars, smart meters, open-source software, privacy in social media, atomic power and whether to let human cadavers be dissolved in pressurized vats of lye.

Many LSRs never become bills and few ever become laws, so don’t get carried away as you read this. Still, the LSR list is a good way to keep track of what’s being pondered by the massive mob scene that is the New Hampshire General Court (400 representatives plus 24 state senators).
