i think the classification of ice as "low entropy" and water vapour as "high entropy" is a little simplistic... ice in your refigerator on a hot summer day does not have "low entropy."

otherwise a really accesible tutorial on a difficult subject. easier to grasp entropy as a probabilistic/info theory concept, than physics.
