Aral Balkan

Still at Yahoo! Hack Day and I got my hands on a wifi bunny from the Nabaztag folks and created a tiny widget that uses SWX and lets you send me messages that the bunny will speak.

So, go ahead, send me some messages and we will hear them here spoken by the bunny!

• LOL! "This bunny likes hip-hop, especially the hop" :) "You're a weird, weird, man - Zac!" :)

• "Do you see the bunny as a competitor to the Chumby?" Personally, I like the bunny better: It's cute, waves its ears and talks! :)

• [...] During the day I hit a couple of road block in my attempted hacking, apart from the obvious inspiration one: firstly a lack of crossdomain policy files meant I couldn’t access a lot of the BBC feeds I wanted to. I’m thinking of making moo cards with important info on them, just to hand out to people who don’t make it easy for Flash. Secondly my attempts to use the HTML object in Adobe Air seemed to hit security problems -aka I could only load up locally saved web pages. So in the end I spent a few hours randomly annoying Aral while he was playing with a wifi Nabaztag/tag by making it flash and waggle its ears at him. As a result of all these difficulties I spent most of my time at the event wandering around catching up with people, looking at geeky things at the O’Reilly Make stand (including a gear system built out of pasta and ginger snaps), seeing a few alpha demos of projects for HackDay, and a fair bit of evangelising Flex to a variety of different people of different geek creeds.

• [...] I finally made the decision to buy a Nabaztag! It’s even the second version the NabaztagTag (with the belly button). I was inspired by Aral Balkan an, who also bought one. Also inspired by his Bunny Talk widget, so you can see the possibilities of the open API wich Nabaztag provides. But let’s not take this to far, en start from the beginning. [...]

• [...] Tonight the UPS delivery man dropped off two Nabaztagtag wifi-enabled smart rabbits and an extra set of ears! Ever since I read Aral's post on his, I have been waiting for my order to arrive. If you haven't heard of these amazing devices, I highly suggest you check out their website to see all the cool features this little device can handle. Basically, the Nabaztagtag can play internet radio, send and receive messages to other 'tags, complete voice activated commands, tell you the weather, act as your alarm clock, and a whole world of other internet-enabled services. [...]

• Hey, I also just got a bunny and wanted to know if you would be willing to share the code you used to create your widget - it looks really nice.
