The Vitality Sensor, that most elusive Wii accessory may get some clarity tomorrow as Nintendo and the American Heart Association are scheduled to hold a “special joint announcement” that may offer new info on the device. Finally!

At least we hope they clear some things up. It’s been a year since Nintendo revealed the mysterious heartbeat peripheral at E3. It would be nice to get to know it better.

If you’ve done the whole tweeting every time your unborn child kicks, perhaps it’s time for something a bit creepier. This device will give your Twitter followers a live feed of your heartbeat, including “pre-recorded” messages to announce your death should you shuffle off this mortal coil.

This DIY project is open source and will send the news of your heart directly to the internet. That way should you stop supporting the Iranian revolution, we will all know why. It was probably one too many cheetos and the terrible let-down of a Transformers movie that was too much for your soul to take.
