Gadgets are fun and I am not sure one can have too many \u2013 well I am far away from my limit anyways.<\/p>\n

Currently, Chumby<\/a> is my favourite and I set mine up yesterday. It is real easy to use, my slight problem that I had lost the login info for the the website so I had to re-activate it again.<\/p>\n

In short, Chumby connected with via wifi and has a touch screen, 2 speakers, 2 USB plugs and plays all sort of different widgets. It is built on open source software and hardware. <\/p>\n

For me, it is mainly an entertaining gadget that I have in the kitchen. Snapshorts of all sort of different info that I can customise myself. It is possible to change for how long each widget is displayed. This is done via my account on their website.  At the moment there are 1,165 different widgets to choose from. But it comes very useful when I need to check what the weather will be like before leaving the flat.<\/p>\n

It is now possible to check my twitter and tweet via the Chumby too. Always a good thing to be accessible to twitter for any company & product out there<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And I just remembered I should add this too. If you are adding your Picasa pics to the Chumby and take the ‘Link to this album’ then double check that you have got google.com in that link and not google.co.uk as that will not work on the Chumby widget.<\/p>\n

And again here is a great clip<\/a> with Dave Mathews<\/a> talking about the Chumby at the 2009 CES.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
