The sheer force of stupid awesomeness behind this hack almost makes me wish that I were I regular Twitter user--almost.

The punnily named group, Botanicalls have created a system involving a Arduino board, a moisture sensor, and a bit of creative coding that will Twitter users when their houseplants are in need of a bit of the old H2O.

Seems like a Rube Goldergian solution for a rather simple task, but incredibly clever, none the less. In the meantime, we should be fine, just so long as our ferns don't take up blogging--or drunken texting.
