Last Tuesday, I tweeted that I was at Data Robotics seeing something super secret. I’m pleased to be able to share it with you today! In July, they released an SDK, and developers have been hard at work making apps for your Drobo and DroboShare to make it even more useful for your every day life. The first set of apps are now available at drobo.com\/droboapps. I'm most excited about three apps in particular. The FireFly Media Server is an open source server for iTunes. Yoics gives you access to your files away from home from any web browser. The third, Time Tamer, was developed by a Drobo employee (on his personal time), but you don't need a Drobo to use it. If you use Time Machine, you can use Time Tamer to specify exactly how much space Time Machine can take up on your drive. Otherwise, it could wind up taking up the entire drive pretty quickly.  The Plantbot might be a concept, but if it's real, it's a pretty cool idea. It has a light sensor and wooden legs. When the sensor detects better light in another part of the house, the legs will carry your house plant to the light. It's a project built by The Play Coalition While we were at the TWiT Cottage last week visiting Leo Laporte, we got to meet Marc and Nicole, who do an awesome woodworking show called The Wood Whisperer. Marc created a wood gadget charging station for Leo. You can see it on the set at twitlive.tv.eCoupled technology is bringing Tesla's theories about inductive coupling to life.
