HomeSense – Every home has a story to tell
What did I get myself into this time? It was in late June when I first came across the project called HomeSense by Tinker London. They talked about creating smart homes by using sensors, wires, Arduino, some duct tape, … and they were looking for households all over Europe that would be interested in participating in a open research in how people interact with DIY technologies on home.

Bummer! But there’s still some hope left. Recently an interesting project got my attention.

I couldn’t wish anything better. The famous volcano eruption on Iceland caused a lot of troubles all over the world… and a few thousand visitors got completely blocked in New York and among them some of the 99% participants. My flight has been canceled early on saturday morning and a friendly telephone operator at American Airlines managed to find me a sit on a flight leaving NY in ……. one week! Fun! After a deep breath and a 10 second timeout I realized that all this could just be one big amazing ...
