Check it out here. Now, can any of you hardware guru's provide the rest of us with a how-to on building one?" You're not the only one asking.

    This is an excellent idea -- but does require the family to have some basic HTML skills do be able to operate the ambient developer channel.

    Ambient should sell an accessory that let's you remotely configure your ambient device through another device.

    For instance, send an orb to your son. Then have a jog dial with similar pager technology in your house, and let you set it to several different states to control the color of a remote Orb. Could be a great way to discretely message amungst people.
