So we have an "Internet of Things" device. We have a computer whose job is to run the Solidoodle. We have @ltl_solidoodle.

When it starts a print, it tweets "Dunno if this is going to work, but in haiku form."

When it finishes a print, it tweets a picture of the final project.

Considering an event loop. When tweeted at or DM'd, something like "hey what's up", it tweets a picture of the current state.

Granted, we have to replace every atom of the printer before we can really start playing with that, but once that's done, we'd have to look into how to schedule this thing. We can't really get data about the current state of the print -- +Chuck Schwarz, tell me if I'm wrong -- but certainly we can say "certainly I'll tweet a shot".

Is this a thing we should do?
