I first saw the Chumby last year and thought it would be fun for me and my students to play with.  However, I think I'm going to keep this one and replace my alarm clock with it.

Just got it out, programmed it and haven't really done anything yet. 

What's a Chumby?  www.chumby.com of course!

And here's a picture of it, I hope.  Mine is black -- though it doesn't photograph as well.
