BakerTweet, the Arduino-based pastry early warning system

Usually when we cover the baked goods beat ’round here it’s in the form of a gadget-themed confection, so anything that actually empowers our sweet tooth is not only brilliant, it’s dangerous! That’s why we were really excited (and a little scared) to come across BakerTweet, a WiFi-enabled, Arduino-based prototype that one mounts on the wall of their bakery. Items are added or removed via web interface, which you can later select by simply spinning the dial. When the sweets come out of the oven, press the button to Tweet your eager customers and await the stampede. The prototype unit is being used at Albion’s Oven in London, but we’re looking forward to seeing it hit the streets Stateside at some point in the near future (even if our waist isn’t). Video after the break.

LaserPup Will Drive Your Pets Crazy

By Evan Ackerman

This isn’t quite the coolest pet entertainment hack we’ve seen, but it sure comes close. The LaserPup is a little device that you mount on your ceiling. It’s got a buzzer plus two servos that move a laser pointer around, all monitored via a webcam and controlled through a web interface designed to be used on an iPhone. It seems like it could totally be a sellable product, but at the moment you have to build your own… You can find a bunch of helpful instructions at where else but LaserPup.com.

Linksys announces Media Hub NAS


We knew Cisco would be throwing down in the home media space, and it’s coming out in force, supplementing that sexy Wireless Home Audio system with the web-enabled Media Hub NAS. Both the $400 500GB NMH405 and $430 NMH410 (1TB) feature a front-panel LCD and card reader, while the $350 NMH305 (500GB) does away with such frills. All three models come with a single drive, but can be expanded with a second unit later. The web interface actually looks super-slick, with file system and media playback functionality available to any web browser. Of course, you can also stream to any UPnP AV / DLNA device, and there’s also iTunes streaming if you roll like that. Not a bad little package, if you’re in the market — we’ll see how that interface runs in person later this week.

Vera home automation system wants to be the greenest of them all


As the global economy curls up into the fetal position in the face of rising energy costs, we’re as determined as anyone to be as energy efficient as possible — as long as it’s completely convenient, of course. Mi Casa Verde hopes to help with that with Vera, a Z-Wave / 802.11 hub with an exceptionally robust web interface for monitoring the energy usage of devices in your home as well as turning them off, setting up scenes, events and timers, and operating locks and security cameras. Since it’s a low impact little device running a stripped down version of Linux, it operates on less power than desktop-based solutions — a benefit that Mi Casa Verde claims makes it one of the few systems that save more power than they use. Its retail price will be competitive, with the box at $299 and a secure remote access gateway at $8 per month, but Mi Casa Verde is trying to entice would-be testers with a pre-street sale price of $149 and one year of free remote access service — that option will be available through October 31st, with the final product available to conscientious tree-huggers (tech savvy and otherwise, the company hopes) everywhere on November 15th.

[Thanks, Dmitry]
