The Chumby has a touch screen, a 350mhz processor and a bunch of other hardware that’s held together by Linux. It displays widgets from the interweb, plays internet radio, has WiFi, an accelerometer, a squeeze sensor, small speakers, microphones and USB ports built-in. It is completely customizable and the developers have laid bare the hardware and software. It’s extremely cool, though I do find it a little ugly in that cute way. It has people raving about it and it costs $179.95.
After a very long hiatus, Random Friday Music returns with Modeselektor. If I had bought the Happy Birthday! album before I did my list of top albums from 2007, I can assure you it would have ended up very high on top of the pile. Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary make great genre-defying electronic music that seems to draw a lot of its influence mainly from IDM, glitch, electro and hip hop. Brilliant, ground breaking and thoroughly entertaining, it seems the pair make their music with their own self-made software. This album makes for very good ‘work’ music and comes very highly recommended.
