It's our API, on your phone. Object Phone is a simple app that uses Twilio to allow you to 'listen' to our collections metadata. I originally posted a blog on Cooper-Hewitt Labs, but it has matured a bit since that post.

dial the number above from your touchtone phone and follow the menu options to

1. search by object ID ( easter egg object 18639541 .. wait for it.. )
2. listen to a random object
3. hear "what micah says"

send a text message to objectphone using the following options

1. text 'wtf' for help
2. text 'wwms' to read "what micah says"
3. text 'random' for a random object
4. text any Cooper-Hewitt object ID to getInfo on that object from our API
5. text any alphanumeric accession number to getInfo on that object from our API. ( This doesn't always work )
