Not since Audrey the talking plant from Little Shop Of Horrors exclaimed “Feed me, Seymour!” have we heard of talking plants. Though, Botanicalls brings us one step closer to having flower-to-person communication (F2P?).

Botanicalls is essentially a soil moisture sensor implanted in your flower pot, made with only two nails and a circuit, which sends information about the plants vitals from an arduino board which then passes the information to an Xbee network. A Xport is then used to send information and alerts through PHP to a mySQL database and to Asterisk, which then forwards a phone call to the plants owner, alerting them of the plant’s needs.

For each plant there is a acceptable moisture level set, which when becomes too low, sets off the Bontaicalls system when checked back with other averages. While it all seems rather complex for the sake of gardening, we suppose some peoples green thumb needs some reminding. (more…)

Many guys have issues with their jealousy. And with the amount of sluts roaming the streets we don’t blame them much. But does it really require something like the Forget-me-not Panties to keep a watchful eye on them?

These panties, specially made with a GPS locater built in, will track your lady everywhere she goes when shes wearing them, despite the fact that she is not aware she’s being followed. But listen to this. Not only is her location tracked, but her temperature and heart rate are tracked too! That is where the line of inquisitiveness stops, and the line of insane creepiness starts.

The Sensatech system works with three added objects other then the normal fabric. An embedded GPS, a normal watch battery, and a biometrics vitals reader strategically located near her holiest of holes. The data is transferred to your PC and mobile devices for easy access. This kind of paranoia only should exists in the movies.
