DisplayCabinet: connecting data to our environments

Displaycabinet
Your house keys become an overview for your home. Energy consumed, current cost of energy per day, broadband allowance used and simple weather. It also serves as the screen that displays any scheduled alerts or important information relating to other items on the shelf. The bins need to be emptied and Mr Cuddles, the household pet is out and there’s something wrong with the fridge.

My head is spinning with how cool this would be both inside and outside the home. It also seems more tied into the way people already interact with their environments than Nokia's vision.

Interactive Graphic: Box Office Receipts 1986 — 2008

Very interesting graphic. Not surprisingly, widely-advertised "epics" like the Harry Potter series kill at the box office, but some movies, like "National Treasure: Book of Secrets", benefited from timing and lack of competition.
