.NET Micro Framework at Maker Faire
Some colleagues in a sister group of mine have built an SDK that lets you build simple hardware devices to control all kinds of products, like thermostats that use weather information to control energy usage,
They're doing a bunch of things at next week's Maker Faire in Austin (wish I could be there!), but one of the fun things they're doing is a contest where they'll be giving out $101,000 in prizes to people who come up with ideas for dream devices.
too bad Microsoft employees aren't eligible :-(
