My god, my Chumby just showed up. That wasn't even 24 hours. And shipping was free.

Do you love it? I had never heard of one until I Googled last night after your posting.

Well, I love their customer service, that's for sure! So far, it does a million more things than I'll use out of the gate, but the alarm clock settings are highly highly customisable, so I'm a happy puppy. And it will wake me up to Pandora radio, and show me Flickr photographs and weather forecasts. The laptop may be leaving my bed.

Can you tell us more when/ as you are exploring. I am contemplating getting one.

Well, so far I'm in like. I've named her Parker. I wouldn't spend s lot of time watching trailers on it, but it's nifty that I can. And since I don't like normal radio, Pandora radio rocks. More exploration to come. There's a lot of twee to steer clear of.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Codes to Grab Free In-Flight Wi-Fi This Holiday Season
If you're on a decently long flight and want to connect to the net, there are more options than ever this year. If you're not flying Virgin America, however, they're not free. Unless you have these coupon codes, that is.
Our connectivity-loving sibling blog Gizmodo found a few codes for free in-flight Wi-Fi sitting on the FlyerTalk and MyMoneyBlog.com sites, good for one free in-flight hook-up per email address. As Giz notes, however, if you've got a Gmail address or another email that supports period separation (kevin.purdy instead of kevinpurdy) or + sign demarcations (kevinpurdy+freewifi), you can create an unlimited number of email activations.
Here are the relevant codes for the three U.S. airlines using GoGo's service....

That's too funny. I notice the contrast adjusts itself for her face too, and not his.
But, hey, how many black people use webcams? Slightly more than there are black business users in Poland, but still.

Has anyone run into wireless issues with Windows 7? Such as the wireless working fine until suddenly it doesn't?

Well, I've had my first Chumby wakeup, and it was successful. I was nervous about what would happen if it couldn't connect to Pandora, but it has a backup alarm set to go off five minutes after that, if the primary fails. Screen flares bright, music blares, all is good. I'll explore the apps more over the holidays.
I was about to get pissed at TiVo's explore option listing shows and movies I know aren't airing--when you explore a show it lists thumbnails of similar. But I just noticed it sources them for you--broadcast, Netflix, Amazon, Blockbuster. So I can get directly from exploring Sea of Souls to watching Julia. I mean, I can browse Netflix from TiVo. I don't have to add everything from my PC.
Cool.
