Ninja Blocks add spy power to everyday stuff
Ninja Blocks can trigger actions in response to stimuli, such as switching on a light when a baby cries.

If your world isn’t already complex enough, or if you’re just a control freak, it’s time to add some ninja to your life.
Sensor-equipped platforms called Ninja Blocks are designed to bring the Internet of things to a ubiquitous, open-source reality.
The result of a recent successful Kickstarter project that raised more than $100,000, Ninja Blocks obey simple “if this, then that” commands to add functionality to your environment through the Web.
For instance, when your friends are playing on Xbox Live a Ninja Block could trigger an action in your living room, like turning on a lamp. Or a Ninja Block could text your phone when a package is delivered to your door. You could also activate household lights or electronics via your Ninja by talking to Siri.
