Cuberat Canary
My wife is fond of the USB Robot Owl, an adorable, but completely useless way of filling one of your USB ports.
I suggest an equally adorable and much more useful avian cyborg peripheral: The Cuberat Canary.
Early warning system that toxic levels of BS are present.
In much the same way that a miner’s canary served as a rudimentary carbon monoxide detector (Alive = Safe, Dead = Ohshitrun), the Cuberat Canary constantly monitors your email client for smilies, unnecessary forwards, pointless meeting requests and personal messages sent via Reply to All.
When productivity and morale are within a custom safe zone, the canary cutely blinks, twitches its wings, or sings your iTunes playlist via a speaker in its chest (free Rammstein tracks included). If annoyance levels reach critical mass, it promptly mutes itself and flips over “dead”. After the employee has taken a mental-health smoke/shit break, it can be easily reset with the push of a button, automatically deleting all potentially offensive emails in the process.
I just need to pitch my idea to Brando.

Let’s Fail
Fixed up old website that was on a domain that expired. Should mostly work.
Circa 2007 it was actually popular for a very niche crowd; got ~1 million page views one month (South Korea loved it?). I let it die because as it got more popular I couldn’t keep it accessible enough for anyone to contribute easily and keep out bots/spammers who wanted to fuck my shit up.

From the about page:
…members play classic games for the first time, with no previous knowledge of the controls, storyline, etc. Comedy and frustration would ensue and be captured in all it’s audio-visual glory, in a kind of gamer-nerd-rage MST3K.
This was the most work I ever put into customizing a wordpress theme’s art. There are sprites from over a dozen games on the header and footer. And it still looks like ass. This is why I am not a Graphic Designer.
