Spooky.
Now there you go. A device you stick in the six pack to SMS you when the beer is cold. Better yet a meat thermometer that SMS's you as the steaks on the grill reach a set doneness, so you can sit drinking the cold beer and not overcooking the steaks.

And if the steak SMS fails, you're screwed. Time to go to Pizza Hut. :lol:

i'm more a fan of real-time monitoring.

i'd like to have one of those home-maintenance-monitoring things where you can connect with your web-browser (on your work-PC, or when you're abroad using PDA or cybercafe.)
then you can see all kinds of things ... from burnt-out-bulbs to intruder alarms to basement-flooding-monitors to refrigerator-content-analyzers, milk-gone-bad-sensors etc.
