Why bother with practical applications for these? And why build just one? I want to see 100 of these things lined up and programmed to dance!

Which, BTW, I think is very cool. I like this floppy fellow though cuz I could actually make him!

Have them daisy-chained using USB so you could have lots of them. Then the manufacturer could make hundreds of small plugins for it… Have one that falls down when the weather is bad, one that slowly (day by day) stands taller as the weekend approaches. One that starts to fall as system resources are low. One that stands tall when Web traffic peaks.

I could think of hundreds of things and I think if they were mass produced to be cheap and simple so that any computer user could use it there would be a pile of money to be made there!

I like things as simple as it can get;) Good project though :)

Imagine, you have this little desk puppet that pops up / collapses in response to a certain buddy being online.
