After the whole hype about the blogging plant - now everyone can teach their plants to twitter. Talking of, feel free to follow me on twitter - right now showing on my twitter account: German twittering in the Midwest during the Election. I have a feeling this will be just the beginning. What a about a twitter pimple set? Pimple says - I’m ready to get squeezed. Right before: Ouch!

Once the kit is assembled, connect it to the Internet through the built-in ethernet jack, jam the leads into the plant’s soil, and subscribe to the plant’s twitter feed. It will tell you when it needs watering, or scold you if you’ve overwatered it, and report its status in between. The DIY Plant Twitter Kit comes unassembled, so you’ll have to break out the soldering iron and get to work. Don’t worry, it’s not that difficult to put together, and the satisfaction you get from building your own translation circuit.

It first I was like .. wah wah .. going to skip on that one but the video is a real seller.

This battery powered wand features a mini Van de Graaff generator inside. Push a button on the handle and the static charge built up in the wand causes the included 3D mylar shapes to levitate at your command. You can also do some cool tricks causing the shapes to jump back and forth from your hand to the wand. Not quite Harry Potter… but hey, we do our best for you.
