<p>Came across <a href="http://siftables.com/">siftables</a> today for the first time <a href="http://radar.oreilly.com/2009/03/four-short-links-11-mar-2009.html">via a link from O&#8217;Reilly Radar</a>, which referenced a post from that <a href="http://www.gyford.com/">very nice Phil chap&#8217;s</a> <a href="http://www.overmorgen.com/weblog/2009/03/12/siftables.ph">coverage at ETech</a> (wish I was there).  This is very nice kit.  The video on the siftables site is really quite exciting.   And it shows footage from a media lab &#8211; another awesome project from MIT that I&#8217;d forgotten about.  All very life affirming.</p>
<p>Apparently there was a New Scientist article about it a month or so ago so I was surprised I&#8217;d missed it.  I suppose it must have been in that issue that got lost in the heavy snow <img src='http://halfdecent.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':-(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
