Twitter marquee thing
Watches for anything mentioning @hackpgh on twitter and repeats it out. It appears to be a Pro-Lite TruColor, which apparently takes commands over a 9600 baud serial connection.
Resource on making the thing work:

Web server
The hackpittsburgh.org web server is run off of a VM hosted by Dreamhost.
RFID tool logs
Want to design an RFID log-in system for our tools so we don't need to keep paper logs.
Design goals:
- You turn the power switch on, then beep in
- It checks against your tool training auth and adds use logs to a database with timestamps
- You stay logged in until you power it off
- It automatically tracks tool use time and displays notifications when it needs maintenance
- Powered by the same power as the tool
- Displays useful errors when the network/database is unreachable
- Cheap enough and simple enough to stick on every power tool
- Tool log database run locally
- Connects over wifi
- Display cool stuff on screen
- A face plate that can be laser cut or engraved with cool stuff
- GRAPHS!!!
