From mochas to machinery

James Governor, the host of ThingMonk, put this video out before the event. He very nicely outlines how the IoT encourages innovation by accident from its wide range of applications. The coffee machine mentioned in the video was in fact fitted with sensors and successfully connected to the Internet in the first day of the thing monk conference. This was during the interesting few hours where the electricity had cut out and the members of the conference continued talking and hacking by candlelight.

I recently had the pleasure of attending ThingMonk, a conference, which blended together (rather sucessfully) hacking sessions, talks about Arduinos and craft beer. While picking quite major sponsors like IBM and ARM, the event was fantastically friendly and much networking & work was done. Its other attendees covered the broad spectrum of what the Internet of Things represents:software programmers, scientists, CEOs, economists and some veering on the edge of becoming philosophers.

Over the next few posts I'm going to summarise as best I can the highlights of my one and a half day stay, and the companies behind them. You can check out the event site here.
