My Chumby - Trevor

Those who follow me on Twitter, you know my much I loves me Chumby...and that his name is Trevor.

For those that don't know what a Chumby is (be carefully if you manually enter Chumby into a URL - a typo could result in something not work-safe), visit the website.

Curious how I use it? Take a look at the bottom of my blog for my Virtual Chumby showing my "Fun Stuff" channel. In fact, all of my channels are "fun!"

Several folks have said - I don't get it - doesn't your computer do all that?
  • Reed RSS
  • Follow Twitter
  • Look at Flickr photos
  • Get Traffic & Weather updates
  • Have interactive features (making noise, moving objects, etc.)

My computer does indeed do all this and more - it is for work. Computer for work; Chumby for fun. Simple as that.

It sits on "the best workstation in the world" at my home office; gets juice from my airport extreme; and is on when I work at home.

Let me know if you have any additional questions about my Chumby, Trevor. Be sure to check out the very active community out there developing widgets and talking Chumby talk at http://www.chumby.com/.

I love your quote here, "In fact, all of my channels are fun!"

Ann - Thanks for your comment - if I were in a position to give out a prize, you would get it as you are the first person to comment on my little blog (granted, I don't advertise it too much...).

Gold star to you! @Mukund recommended your blog on Twitter, and I was so glad to start my day reading, what I thought, was one of the best blog posts I'd read in a while. I'll look forward to more!
