Tom Taylor bought a cheap little till printer, the small dinky kind that is used for printing off shop receipts. As he put it, If A4 is a blog, this is Twitter. He has hooked it up to an arduino\nboard which connects to his computer which is connected to the\ninternet. That's the hardware side of the things. The software side of\nthings is pretty simple. Every day at 8:00am, a programme pulls in data\nfrom various places: appointments from his calendar, the movements of\nhis fellow travellers on Dopplr, and when Tower Bridge will be opening and closing\n(of course). This gets output to a queue and a few seconds later, that\ngets output--via the arduino board--to the till printer. Tom now has a\nsmall slip of paper with all the little reminders he might need for the\nday.

James Wheare is making a daily physical lifestream. Overnight, it pulls in blog\nentries, Flickr pictures and twitter messages from his friends and in\nthe morning, he prints out a foldable A4 page. He can fold this down\ninto a little booklet to take with him when he leaves the house.
