technology :: a house that tweets

It has it's own twitter account and tweets when someone leaves the water running, dinner is ready and even when a mouse has been caught in a trap (there are a lot of those out in the English countryside). The houses Master,  Dr Andy Stanford-Clark - who has the job title of distinguished engineer and master inventor for IBM computers (no wonder!) has rigged the 16th century dwelling with hundreds of sensors linked to the popular social networking website so it can tweet it's updates regularly.The house can also be monitored and controlled from his cell phone when he's  away .
