The Bug has a simple web server that serves up still frames from the camera and timestamps from the motion sensor. That data can be retrieved using GET requests from another host, or from another part of the Bug if we're running the process locally.

As an alternative, a program can run that accesses those sensors directly and chooses to do something with it. One option may be that the device pushes data out to Twitter, or to another web server, or some other web service.

We can use Python or Java or C to accomplish these goals on the device, but we should probably keep it simple enough to get something finished before we run out of time.
