Are you saying we're gonna be having some tweetjects around here? Yeah, I like realms of possibility. Are you saying we’re gonna be having some tweetjects around here?

That's some really interesting work. I'd love to have a real time energy monitor for my house. It turns out that I have a little experience experimenting with pressure sensors, photosensors, etc. from my work at IUPUI, so this isn't out of the realm of possibilities. Definitely something to noodle on. Richard, thanks for the link. That’s some really interesting work. I’d love to have a real time energy monitor for my house.

To take this in a slightly different way, I was watching an episode of EPIC FU and some ideas popped into mind that relate to this. So, grab a cup of coffee and try and keep up with this video: http://epicfu.com/2008/10/how-to-be-a-twitter-power-user.html But make sure you get to the second half (beyond all of the crazy twitter info) and listen to the Andy Stanford-Clark interview. He talks about using MQ telemetry technology and twitter to make tweetjects. Yeah, what? Well, he says that they are like blogjects. Again, what? These are "objects" that he then uses technology to make "talk," that is to say blog and tweet. So, what if we could do some of that here? Could we make a painting or sculpture blog or tweet? Have the Rembrandt say "someone is looking at me!" or have Do-Ho Suh's floor say "there are a bunch of people standing on me!"? Or maybe we could make the museum into a bunch of tweetjects that let us know about the temperature and relative humidity in certain areas, etc., etc. Nice post, Ed.
