I’m reviving a post from the old blogging website about one of my favorite desktop gadgets...the
!
What’s a Chumby? Well, it’s a cool little device that sits on your desk, nightstand, kitchen counter, bar, well...you get the idea and displays channels of information pulled from the internet. It connects to your wireless network and also has motion sensors for some games and such.
I have mine show news, weather and some cams from Times Square, NYC, various aquariums, zoo cams and some different clocks.
There are other channels that will display audio and video but I don’t play around with those to much. The Chumby also has a touch screen to interact with some of the channels and inputs on the back for external audio.
Finally, there are alarms you can configure to turn on/off your Chumby at specific times or awake to your favorite channel.
Pretty cool huh? At right is what’s being displayed on my Chumby right now. Pick one up
