“Internet of Things,” a Receipt Printer for All Things Internet

Do you feel the need to have your tweets printed on receipt paper? You know, to keep track of your posts. This do-it-yourself kit could definitely make it happen.

The “Internet of Things” printer by Adafruit allows you to print out straight from the Internet, whether it is your email or your list of Facebook status updates. The kit consists of an Arduino board, thermal paper, and a bunch of small parts. It also offers an opportunity for people with hardware hacking skills to assemble the little printer together.

You can either buy a full kit for $89.95 or buy individual parts from your local hardware/ electronics store. Note that you need to buy a separate Arduino board or Ethernet kit, which costs roughly $60.
