Ha. I was starting to build a WiFi mousetrap to notify me whenever one of my mousetraps triggered. My cats bring mice into our sunroom, then let them go. Eventually one will slip inside the house or just die in the sunroom then start smelling. So, me being the technologist, thinks that creating a WiFi enabled mousetrap will let me know if it triggered. I buy a Cricket WiFi module [1], some batteries and reed switches. Start messing around with it, then think to myself "this is dumb", it only takes me 1 minute to check the three mousetraps, whereas I was going to ruin a perfectly good weekend in building a WiFi mousetrap. I put everything in a box, might revisit it later. After working in technology Monday through Friday, I definitely didn't want to spend my weekends doing it either.
