Chumby, the alarm clock replacement
I love my alarm clock but the problem with it is that its just that, an alarm clock. Sure it plays CD’s and has a radio but these are two features I never use. I really didn’t know what I really wanted until I found the Chumby.
What is a chumby?
The chumby is a compact device that displays useful and entertaining information from the web: news, photos, music, celebrity gossip, weather, box scores, blogs — using your wireless internet connection. Always on, it shows — nonstop — what’s online that matters to you.
Yes all that and it also has an alarm. It’s an internet appliance thats meant for the night table. The device isn’t out yet and won’t be out for at least a couple of months but the creators have promised it should cost under $200. You can check out the Chumby website for more details. [Link]
For now though if anyone is interested in an incredibly good deal on an internet appliance I would have to recommend the Audrey by 3Com. You can find them on eBay for under $50 and they look great and are perfect for the living room, kitchen or even the bathroom. You can check your email on it, browse the web and even use it as an organizer. I have one in my living room and it comes handy for checking the latest weather or headline news whenever my laptop isn’t around. Just go to ebay and do a search for “3Com Audrey”.
oh so that’s what the stupid thingy in ur living room is. i thought it was just one of those shitty e-machines they sold to grandmas.
I hate my alarm clock, it always wakes me up. I know that this is what it was built for but I hate anyone that wakes me up.
I’ve been using my mobile phone since I’ve moved to Egypt 5 years ago and always wake-up before it rings.
Chumby is the one I need right now
I would really like to come by your place one day and check all the gadgets that you have.. i think i’ll be looking around like a little kid that knocked santa out and jumped in his big red bag.. lol
It would be a pretty boring tour because I dont have that many lol
OOOOOOOOOOOOOH
I so want that!
Does any one else beside me kind of build a resistance to the alarm clock tone ?, no matter how loud it is, i have to change it every 3-days,, other wise it would sound like a lullaby
I got to have the Audrey thing, maybe it will help me with the internet addiction :|
wow, now it’s possible to be woken up by porn!! lol
holla ~ can you make us a list of all the “thingys” you saw! even better, use your mobile cam!
