My Ambient OrbI first purchased my ambient orb back in February 2005, yea over 4 years ago (1600+ days ago). It is a geek thing, where I paid the small monthly fee to transmit data to it, so that I can see on a weird level, what our employees are doing.

In short, I sent a message to it via our backend software, over radio frequency, which updated the color and pulse of the orb, based on what our employees are working on. I documented each color and pulse in a blog post named My Ambient Orb Feeds Me Employee Data back in July 2007.

Recently, the orb has been on the fritz. It is behaving irrational. It just pulses really quickly and rotates between colors. Is it an orb issue or an API coding issue? I am not sure yet.

Here is a video of the spazzing:
