Why do I want this?
The Ambient Orb sits in your house, connected to the internet through a wireless network. It changes colors based on data it receives. It comes pre-set to reflect changes in the DOW, but you can also set it to read custom data that you've put online. Like I could theoretically make it turn green if I have more than five unread email messages, red if Rob's been logged into the dev server for more than 18 hours (always a bad sign) and yellow if Jason's posted something new here.
So again, why do I want this?
