Embedded Blogjects

An post over at Pasta and Vinegar inspired me this morning. Nova talks about objects that blog, referencing the GPS enabled pidgeons project, and webcams, among other things. I am considering starting a project in which embedded objects would be capable of blogging directly—at the object's own discression and about subjects relevant to the object.

The concept of social, networked, non-living fixtures provides for a different perspective on natural phenomena. I expect the objects would function as embedded sensors relying on thresholds of stimulus to pass information in a human-readable position to a blog—a recontextualization of the data. I don't propose this is an innovative concept, just a contextual repositioning.
