1. Great question. Would be a great new example. It would look something like:

var ddp = require('ddp').new({ 'host': 'yourapp.meteor.com', 'port': 80 }); ddp.connect(function() { ddp.call("a-method", [ params ] });

And I guess that's about it ;) You might want to add a setInterval() to make sure this gets run regularly.

2. Unfortunately I am out of the bay area for a few months. Will be back in september and would love to meet! Until then, we have hn comments ;)

This looks great. I am designing a sensor for bee hives at my university using a rasberry pi. I am building an app that will all users to interact with the data using d3 and crossfilter, and will display the new data coming in in real time. I was trying to figure out how to get the Pi to talk to the meteor app, this looks like it might be the ticket.
