Automatic Earthquake Tweet

I have rigged a touchatag RFID tag to automatically tweet if there's an earthquake.  The tag has been enclosed in a display slab (the slab is intended for collectible coins).  I've labeled the tags with a post-it note and placed it in the slab as well.  The earthquake tag is being held by a top-heavy robot that will (hopefully) fall on the tag reader during a moderate or large seismic event.

It would be so cool if it worked, wouldn't it?
