WEIO , a new invention which is platform to wot and can implement various things that are realted to wot

                The Web of Things( WOT ) is a term used to describe approaches, software architectural styles and programming patterns that allow real-world objects to be part of the World Wide Web.

                            The Nature of Things is Research in the Web of Things usually considers things in the broad sense of physical objects. Things can include tagged objects (RFID, NFC, QR codes, Barcodes, Image Recognition) to Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), machines, vehicles and consumer electronics.                                The Architecture proposes four main layers (or stages) that are used as a framework to classify the different patterns and protocols involves

1.accessibility layer

2.findability layer

3.sharing layer

OK SO last night, as my hubby and I were laying in bed, trying to fall asleep, we heard some yelping off in the distance. We figured coyotes, we’ve heard lots of them before. Two winters ago, before the emus hatched back in NY, a small pack of them hung out on the wheat/corn field next door and they made a LOT of noise. And in Colorado, too. So I mean, we know what they sound like pretty well. Anywho, we’re listening, and then the yelps and yips turn into big, deep looong howls. It was beautiful. The howls got closer, and we could hear them a bit better and they were definitely not coyotes. I was like 8D WOLVES OMG. Then the down-the-road neighbor’s “guard dog” (aka poorly trained GSD) started going berserk, so I wonder how far away they really were.

I’ve visited with captive/rescued wolves before and heard their howls, and it sounded a lot like that... so I’m like 99% sure it was wild wolves we heard. I mean, we have tons of moose here, and wolves like moose... and we also have a wolf hunting season where we are (not that I would ever hunt one, I don’t see a purpose honestly). I hope they come back lol.

Then we went to the WEIO games today, which was cool. They had a lot of craft vendors set up, most of them for Native artwork or wildlife jewellery. I really like the use of bones, beads and ivory in Native artwork, and it’s mostly animal related. Yay! My favorite things haha. I bought some sweet beads, mmm beads... Anywho, there were a lot of open tables, which got me thinking about my Peblets and such... alas, I would love to do art shows, but I am so shy... it sort of terrifies me. I wish I could build a robot me and send that in my place.

WeIO Rapid Prototyping Platform for the Internet of Things

A couple of days ago a crowdfunding campaign began for a new development platform called WeIO. Taglined as the “Platform for Web of Things” WeIO aims at dramatically simplifying the process of developing new devices, in terms of both hardware integration and software programming. In fact, according to WeIO’s creators — a team of engineers and designers from France — making physical objects with…
