Hawk gave me the heads up on this Twine Project from Supermechanical. The team has successfully raised a load of funds for a device that would enable any number of devices in your life to interact with you via text, tweet or email. Examples include notifications when laundry is done, or an alert when your basement floods or just about anything you can think of. "Compact, low-power hardware and real-time web software work together to make networked physical computing simple and versatile."

If you find yourself saying you have no need for a tweet when your laundry is done I totally understand but that's just a simplified example. The potential with this thing seems quite grand and you've got 36 more days to pre-order one.
