blink(1) USB RGB LED
“blink(1) is a super status light:
it packs three dimensions of information
(color, brightness and pattern) into a single tiny package that fits into
any USB port on nearly every device. It makes it incredibly easy to connect
any data source in the cloud or on your computer to a full-color RGB LED so
you can know what’s happening without checking any windows, going to any
websites or typing any commands.” - Get a blink(1) at https://buy.thingm.com/
