Pachube is just awesome! It is a service created by HAQUE design + research that “enables you to connect, tag and share real time sensor data from objects, devices, buildings and environments around the world. The key aim is to facilitate interaction between remote environments, both physical and virtual.”  Here is a video outlining the service:

I have already sent off a request for an invitation to the beta version and am watching my inbox with excitement. I can’t wait to use an arduino to start logging some data to share online. I would love to track the sun light in my garden or the energy usage in my house or use Pachube as part of a home automation system. Perhaps I will be able to monitor how much time I spend making music versus downsurfing on the interweb!

There is already a convenient way to follow peoples Pachube feeds on your iPhone but it might also be interesting to explore the API and create a handy Pachube iPhone app of my own.
