My New Plush Toy...with browser interface

Chumby is mine all mine! Chumby is alot like a bean bag or a one half of a fuzzy dice set, but with a screen and a browser. It's an alarm clock, music, and web interface all in one. I've had it for about a week but am only now getting to seriously play with it. I think Chumby will be a hit.

Alot of people dont "get" Chumby when I explain it. But once they see Chumby, they understand. Chumby takes the place of my laptop while I'm curled up on the couch, or reading a book in bed. Once Chumby goes wireless then it gets into some backyard time. Basilcally, Chumby is there for when I dont want my laptop around. And I love my cellie, but the UI is too darn miniscule. Chumby is better!

It starts with chumby.com, which is Chumby Control Center. Thats where I add my widgets. I have already added widgets for webcams, social networks, news feeds, games, and LOL Cats to my Chumby Channel 1. I think I might add the Perez Hilton widget right now. There did it. All your fave media conglomerates (WSJ to the Onion) and web 2.0 co's have widgets, and NASCAR has one too!

The Chumby client is a Linux-based, open-source platform. Chumby Industries encourages the hacking of the Chumby and has made the Chumby hacker-friendly. That's very considerate of them! Chumby is all good. There is even a cast of characters featuring a planaria (my favorite flatworm!) and a ham, named Hamby.

More on Chumby to come. But for now, check out the job listings for Chumby Industries because Chumby is on the rise.
