building you own data node

Just read this on Brock Craft's blog, about building your own data sharing sensors:

Building your own data node raises an awareness of the data all around us, and gives one pause to consider our place within the global information space.

 One of the purposes of the VOME project was to try to find ways to help people reflect upon their position and experience within such an environment. I wonder what we might have been able to do if we'd done something like this (instead of or as well as the other fun stuff we did!). Take that quote as a starting hypothesis, combine some tech education, with some qualitative ethnographic stuff, and a bit of co-design. Something to file for the future I think.
