    This is actually a pretty good idea...making security holes common knowledge makes the holes get filled.

    @Trent Russell: If you didn't notice the trend in the songs above, they all actually have to do with building or construction of some kind. Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger is actually about building something. Technologic, though amazing, is simply words about technology.

    hiya everyone, just to make sure it's clear and credited properly - this project was developed by limor fried ([www.adafruit.com]) and myself.


    as far as some more about this... people who live in apartments can network these together and pretty much get most of the data on their power consumption, in my apartment most of the things that use the most power are on one power strip. 2-3 of these covers it all.


    this is a real, functional proof-of-concept to show that it's possible to twitter one's power usage - i think everyone would agree it's good to cut down power usage when you can, good for power bill, good for a lot of other things. i don't think this will cause the earth to get cooler or warmer.

    And like MeanMF, Tweet-A-Watt does not sound savory in the least.


    Now say it 3 x fast.

    @Aturayd: I agree. It's like all these people I know who are obsessed with "living."


    They "move" around. They "eat food." They go "see doctors" regularly and some of them even pay money every month to ensure they can get "health care coverage." I've also watched them pay to have energy imported into their buildings for "heat" and "cooking." They "avoid getting shot in the face" and "running against the light." They stop at "15 beers" before "driving on the highway."


    The list goes on and on. It's fucking obscene how much stupid effort they put in to it. Idiots. Why don't they just sit on their asses and let everything fall to shit the same way I do.

    @92BuickLeSabre: This "commenting" thing that you do so often is starting to get tiresome. Got a snarky comment in response? Weeell let me just tell you that I'm tired of that too. Wanna fight about it? You do. I'm sick of it.

    I don't see any templates though...what am I missing?

    Jinkies! I don't have any metal gadgets to etch at the moment. Don't wanna do it to the touch, and all's I got is a black macbook right now, pending MBP purchase. :'(

    I wonder it it will work on my VAIO. And I'm up for a Giz-NYC Meetup on Sunday 2-4 at the Gallery.


    Trust me - I'll find us a good bar for afters.
