For those who might not appreciate the random letters, what can this inspire? Perhaps it is your latest tagline, cut into the scarf, which can double as a impromptu banner. How about your next sporting event giveaway? Scarves with your team name, motto, etc laser cut out of them? 1,000 fans holding up your sports team banner could be a really cool effect in a stadium and it would likely be taken home and pinned up on walls, bulletin boards and in offices for years to come.

I don't have a Chumby, but as a lover of gadgets, it does look quite appealing. I love widgets, and but at home, I have to head to my computer, which my family is almost certain has been surgically attached, wake it it, all to check the weather, news, etc. Even my kids are glued to the weather widget. But, is there a better way? Meet Chumby. Chumby connects to your wireless internet and is basically just a widget viewer, alarm clock, digital photo frame, radio, etc. It even has a Wii-ish sensor so that you can play a little game on it.
