[TriLUG] Chumby has closed

[Kevin Otte]

Good to know my Chumby won't be a brick when I get home :)

I have always wondered if the Flash widget core could be replaced with 
something truly open. There probably wouldn't be as many widgets 
designed for it since Flash has a large ecosystem around it, but if I 
could get it doing clocks and weather that would be a great start.
