			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">dork</span> bright and entrepreneurial young man has hacked a washing machine so that it tweets every time it finishes a load of laundry.  Presumably so he can get a direct reminder to hang the load out, or put it on to dry.</p>
<p>They video below shows how they have altered the machine in order for it to update Twitter.  They do acknowledge on the video though that they still have to press a button to start the machine.  But DUDE, you hacked a washing machine, that is so nerd cool, its almost the opposite of cool.</p>
<p>You can follow Ryan Rose&#8217;s washing machine on <a href="http://twitter.com/pimpy3wash">Twitter</a> if you so desire.  Although you should only do this if you are prepared to ask @ryanjrose if he has hung the washing out yet.</p>

<p>This may catch on amongst the <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">geeks</span> Twitterati, who would only do something if @ direct messaged.  Now if only we could get the toilet to Tweet if you haven&#8217;t put the seat down.</p>
