Considering he’s probably had that machine for some time, couldn’t he just figure out how long a load takes to wash and then set a timer wherever he while it works? Baisc egg timers go for $5 or less. He could even write “laundry” on it in case he forgot what the timer was for.

OK, the weird part of this is that the washing machine in the video is the same 30-year-old washing machine we have in our condo. (We even have the manual!)

@xtasy

whoah! have to call you there. sms stands for short message service which is the name of the protocol, not the message. Text is short for text message.

This should set a standard feature with new models of washing machines coming in… :D That would be cool!

>>Letting the world now when your laundry is done is bad assed.

Hey, what is a little odor? Combined with a little deod it can truly keep other humans away but the dogs will love you.

The washer hack is cool.

But, I was the most entertained by all the comments.

cool hack; good job. looks like it took a lot of work esp. with wiring it all up.

however, I’m with everybody else on “why the eff did you use twitter instead of email/sms”.

why are so many hacks intentionally impractical? Is it the type of person drawn to this sort of thing? (I’m asking seriously, and with absolutely no offense intended.)

I like things that are cool ‘just because’ as much as the next guy, but I would never in a million years connect my laundry to the network so I can *twitter* its status. I would do it to send my phone an sms when done though.
