Making Fun: CheerBot

Published on Dec 6, 2013

Each Christmas, I like to participate in Cheerlights, an Internet of Things system for synchronizing the colors of multicolor Christmas tree lighting. To command the trees of the Cheerlights service, all you have to do is send a tweet with "@Cheerlights" and the name of a color.

Making Fun: Mission Control Desk

Published on Feb 19, 2014
