As part of Kaleidoscope's private eco-friendly venture, The Greener Grass, the Ohio-based organization has unveiled Current State, a system designed to help iPhone users monitor power usage in their house. The system consists of a series of pass-through plugs that sit between the power outlet and appliance plugs, taking readings of power usage, and sending them to a software front-end on the iPhone. Pricing and availability for the system were not mentioned.

�Our goal is to connect people that are doing and thinking interesting, progressive things and figure out how our skills can mesh with theirs to create a better future for all of us," says Finn McKenty, Brand Manager at Kaleidoscope. "Life is changing faster every day. This is a way for us to learn more about how and why it�s changing."

He continues, saying that Current State and The Greener Grass are designed to "help make fundamental changes in the way people live and view the world. We are meeting with leaders who make significant contributions to the world through their ideas and businesses. Most importantly, we�re sharing this information and developing valuable product ideas and designs in the process"
