Playing with Chumby

I recently ordered 5 chumbys from www.international-orders.com. (Delivery was prompt, thanks International-Orders.com.)
The Chumby is great, it's basically a €200 alarm clock. It uses your WiFi to connect to the web and you can install all kinds of widgets for it. I'm mostly using it to read the news in bed in the morning, keep up with my google calendars, facebook status (pictured below), show visitors my facebook photo albums, subscribe to Dilbert, ICANHAZCHEEZEBURGER, PhD Comics, and watch webcams. You can even subscribe to podcasts! I might write some new widgets for it if I have the time, I'd like to see surf forecasts, more newspapers, and tv guides on it perhaps... (there's a virtual view of my Chumby here).


oh, it also serves as an alarm clock... worth every penny... maybe ;-)
