Animate your Server
I was looking through some stuff on ThinkGeek.com and I happened upon these two little gadgets:
I think the Ambient Orb is discontinued though, I could only find one through an Amazon.com reseller.
The next alternative is a Nabaztag Wifi Smart Rabbit
What’s awesome about both of these gadgets is that public APIs are available that allow you to program them. Imagine using stats from the server rack (processor load, temperatures, network traffic) as input into the Nabaztag.
