Turn your musings into light with the Message Pump. Why the product may sound like a Trotskyite porno, this is in fact a circuit board connected via USB to a PC. You send messages to the board and they show up. That’s it. What can you do with it? Display emails received, perhaps? Display your Tweets? Remind yourself to shower? The possibilities are endless provided you know how to solder.
