I have been digging around tonight and came accross a few things to share with you. The first is a conference that is going on in Switzerland in February. I wish we could go! Well basically they are discussing some really interesting issues directly related to IOT. The list of speakers is crazy and particularly Bruce Sterling will be talking about IOT!!! So to check that out go visit...

The brain as a muscle, lets work it!!!!

Urbanization, one of humankind's most successful and ambitious programs, is the triumph of the unnatural over the natural, the grid over the organic. We remain committed to a global program of extrusion upward and repetition outward in an effort to provide shelter that is safe, healthy, and uplifting. Underway on a scale never before witnessed, one side effect of urbanization is the liberation of vast depopulated territories for the efficient production of "nature".
Paul Rudolph(1918-1997)

hey all, not sure if anyone saw that for each of our reports on IOT we have to concentrate on Work, Leisure, Mobility, Home, Health and Education/Learning. So for our first one "Emergent Signals", we should be concentrating on signals in each of these fields. So maybe we should each be concentrating on one??? Leave comments on what you think. But maybe you have a better way to delineate tasks.

Ok, so I htough I would post a few links that I have bffound pretty interesting so far. A lot of them are centred around RFID technology and about EPC and the work of the MIT Auto ID Departement. One of the founders Kevin Ashton has done some neat stuff. So here are the links.

A brief definition of 'the Internet of Things' from the greatest online encyclopedia...er, online, Wikipedia.org.
"There is no established term to describe the subject of this article. Until one emerges it will be referred to as object hyperlinking. The purpose...is to extend the internet to objects and locations in the real world; to create an internet of things. The current internet does not extend beyond the electronic world. Object hyperlinking aims to extend the internet to the real world by attaching tags with URLs to tangible objects or locations. These tags can then be read by a wireless connected mobile device and information about objects and locations retrieved and displayed."

Hi guys! So...this is our blog. Anything that has anything to do with "The Internet of Things" should be posted on this site. If you were having tea with your grandma and thought of something... put it up. Leave a link to a site and tell us where to go... whatever you think of and try not to make messages too text heavy. Anyways, this is a great project and I think we have a solid group here. It is going to be alot of work, so put your thinking caps on and we are going to come up with some great stuff. Good luck. Later.

Terry
