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?


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

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.


It's also a perpetual? subscription to a
