Twitter Hack – Brain Twitter Interface for Locked-in Syndrome or a Spinal Cord Injury

April 25th, 2009

WOW!  Twitter can now officially be twitted using your brain!  NitroLab of University of Wisconsin has figured out a way to write tweets using the human brain waves.  The whole process is rather cumbersome but it’s a viable solution for those with Locked-in syndrome or a spinal cord injury to communicate online with the world.

The 140 characters of Twitter really allows this device to be the perfect interface as writing a letter can take a second or two as seen in the video.

Twitter Hack – Baker Tweet Updates Baking Status on Twitter!

April 8th, 2009

Twitter Hacking has been going sorta crazy lately, with cool hacks like the Botannicals which can tell you when your plants need watering.

Of course, don’t forget about Baker Tweet, this gadget will “tweet” whatever is coming out of your oven, you can follow @albionsoven to see what Albion’s Oven is cooking.

According to the Baker Tweet page:

BakerTweet allows businesses to use Twitter to communicate in real-time about offers, pricing and stock from a device that can withstand kitchen peril and is much simpler to operate than a laptop or a mobile.

Here’s a picture of what it looks like:

And here’s a video demo:

How It Works:

it’s a bakery-proof box that sends messages wirelessly to Twitter. The clever bit is that the baker can update their messages and things they’re selling using a simple web interface. Obviously not something that you’d do mid-bake but it’s an important feature for future-proofing the device.

This might come in handy for those of you bakers who need to know what’s coming out of your oven in real-time.  I see a lot of good applications for this in the near future for many bakeries out there.
