First of all — I don’t have a Chumby to give away, I don’t even have one for myself.
But, man, looking at Dave Winer’s description of the thing, it makes me want one.
BitTorrent to distribute updates, cool form factor, widgets, a potential webserver? Its a geek’s wet dream.
In fact, I’d give almost anything to have one.
Which got me wondering: what would *YOU* give for a Chumby?
Leave a comment, and the most inventive / funny / disgusting / charming answer wins a free banner ad on Deep Jive Interests for the next month, which is a $70 value.
There are no limit to the number of entries, and the deadline is Monday at 8pm.
So, what are you waiting for? What would *you* give for a Chumby? :)
// alternatively, you could just buy one for yourself for $179. But they don’t yet ship to Canada, so I will continue wishing for one, and if you’re interested in participating in this contest you could merely *imagine* that you’re in Canada as well. ;)

I’d give $179!!! Oh, wait…
Ha ha ;)
RE your post about no one being interested in this contest…I read it yesterday, and I’ve been taking my time trying to craft a good answer.
I think that I would easily trade Espen for a Chumby. He is one of the guys that I do BlogCampaigning with, and since he went back to Norway he’s been useless, spending all of his time partying with a punk rock band. A Chumby would certainly give me more joy than an AWOL blogger.

I’d sacrifice my ability to make recursive jokes for a Chumby. Oh wait…
For a chumby I would climb the highest mountains. I would scale the deepest seas. O my heart yearns for chumby.
I would give up my bag of David Sunflower seeds for a chumby!!!
