Rebecca sent in this great MAKE/CRAFT project, she writes – “Chatter uses the Plushie Message Framework (chat-parsing script to Arduino to wireless module) to send selected instant messages from your computer to the message pillow. Often times I leave my message client open just to get that “emotional check-in” or other brief snippet from my sweetheart, but I don’t want messages from anyone else. With the Chatter Pillow, I just alter a few parameters in the script to filter all but three messages from him: “xo,” “on my way,” and “talk to me.” That way I can be on the couch or ready for bed and still get the message. The pillow lights up with the appropriate symbol indicating whether he’ll be home soon or if I should make my way to the computer to answer a question.” – Link & photo set.

Hah, cute!
Whoever this is for must feel very special!
That is one fat cat!!!
Would the Arduino board have any value to someone already fairly experienced with PICs and with a decent amount of prototyping gear?
Nice Cat.
