Google monitors your home power consumption.

Google just launched PowerMeter, a tool that lets you track and visualize you home power consumption. Initially, the tinkerer in me rejoices at the prospect of going through all of this data seeing how my seasonal habits and moods change the results. But I already spend too much time in the supermarket reading nutritional labels. Too much of my free time is spend going through my last.fm stats, my site’s google analytics and my calorie counter. At what point do you say T.M.I? I guess that it all comes down to your own interests and the results that you get from actually tracking your life’s data. Going through my last.fm stats might not be as useful or beneficial as PowerMeter , but I get a lot of satisfaction from it due to my interests in music and data.
