Attention technogardeners:  assemble this Botanicalls DIY Plant Twitter Kit (you’ll need some tools, like a soldering iron, solder, needle-nose pliers, small snips, masking tape and a flat-head screwdriver–hey, I never said that turning your plant into a robot was easy), stick in the soil next to your plant, and listen to your plant’s feedback via Twitter.

X now marks the shot:  with this ingenious self-tripod (sipod?), you won’t return from vacation with an album full of halffaces and fiveheads.
