That made me think of this: http://www.media.mit.edu/resenv/projects.html http://www.media.mit.edu/resenv/projects.html Ubiquitous computing at the MIT Media Lab -- I saw a great presentation on this a couple years ago by Joe Paradiso. Their idea was also to embed networked computers in power strips as a hub for everything else to communicate through. It's called the Plug on this page.
