IIRC, it was built on a hacked up Ambient Orb http://ambientdevices.myshopify.com/products/stock-orb http://ambientdevices.myshopify.com/products/stock-orb

  Wow, $150? Shocked there isn't a cheaper USB version that is more easily hackable. I mean, is it really more than color-changing LEDs in a plastic sphere?

    It's also a perpetual? subscription to a nationwide wireless network to obtain e.g. the latest stock prices.

    blink(1) is a small USB light to give you glanceable notice of anything on your computer or the internet. blink(1) makes it easy to connect data sources in the cloud or on your computer to a full-color RGB LED so you can know what’s happening https://blink1.thingm.com/ https://blink1.thingm.com/

      Thanks for the link--looks awesome, wish the form factor were a bit larger and not so directly attached to the computer. I'll bet I could create an extension cable for it and rip off the housing to make the LEDs allow more light through, then put it in a translucent plastic sphere.
