WiFi Redwoods. UC Berkeley researchers instrumented redwood trees with tiny sensor "motes" that measure light, temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure. Running their own TinyOS software, the sensors establish ad-hoc wireless networks to transmit the data they gather about the microclimates in the tree canopy. 

Now this is just plain cool.  Reminds me of Diamond Age.   In the immortal words of Ed Wood, "We are interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives!"

Speaking of Ed Wood, have you guys checked out Oh the Humanity!?  Absolutely hilarious site, even if it hasn't been updated in years.  I don't know where those guys went, but I wish that the Martians would return them so they could make me laugh again.

Looks like the telcos aren't the only anti-consumer monopolistic industry that is toppling.  DeBeers may have some competition in the diamond business.
