Wow, catching up with my feedly blog roll today I found this post:

Folks, I’ve got some news about Berg to share. We’re wrapping up for this incarnation. Our partnerships and our services, they’re done. A few things left, then hibernation.

Little Printer we’ll run till March next year. A skeleton crew will keep it alive. We’ll sell it. Or open the code. See here for more. We’d love to see LP survive.

We’ve not reached a sustainable business in connected products. But: There’s our troop! Cultural inventions! I’m proud of this British Experimental Rocket Group.

Thank you fellow travellers, in your thousands. Behind the mountains, there are more mountains.

apparently BERG London known also as BERG Cloud is shutting down. This is kind of old news from 22 days ago but it's such a bummer. I always loved the work folks from BERG were doing, but I guess it's not yet the time to implement those great ideas in the connected devices space. All I can say now is good luck guys in all your future ventures.

I am so bummed that Berg Cloud is closing, I wanted a pixel train so bad for my room. :-(

Sigh so much for innovation.

Any serious thing that has a sensor or a control should at some point be a connected device. But not necessarily anything more than that - like tweeting.

A side note that I don't know much about Alexandra's friends but amongst my GenX cohort it's males who do most of the cooking.

I think I have heard versions of the ‚smart fridge’ ever since I first went online 25 years ago, even before the web. Alex presented it as a typical ‚males who never use a kitchen dreaming up a use case for what they imagine (mostly) females do in there’ situation.

…Unsurprisingly at Re:Publica, Germany’s largest annual gathering of internet techies, the smart fridge reared its ugly head this morning. This one was dreamt up to tweet its power usage to compare it with others of similar type. Not that tweeting that info is a good way to gather data, nor is adding more power consumption to measure the same.

"Cloudwash is a prototype washing machine. We created Cloudwash to explore how connectivity will change the appliances in our homes… and to figure out what new features will be possible".

Erg cool concept van hoe een toekomstige generatie, met internet verbonden wasmachines eruit zou kunnen zien.

De bedenkers zijn ook de makers van de kleine Cloud printer, 'Little Printer'. Lees verder voor een video en nog meer foto's van Cloudwash.

A very impressive connected washing machine demo, using Berg Cloud and a real washing machine.
