Ponderings and fiddling with Raspberry Pi tiny computers.
Use a Pi with some blinkenlights to run Jenkins and do continuous builds of stuff from git/svn. The lights provide an immediate indicator of the state of the builds and Jenkins.
With a bunch of stepper motors, some clever mechanicals and controller cleverness, it would be possible to build a motorized monitor stand controlled via a Raspberry Pi or similar.
Look inwards Mr Pi, see your self as you are and then you can be the change you wish to see.
AKA - stick a camera on a Pi, point the camera at the Pi, set it up to take regular pictures, compare them against previous pictures and log/alert someone if there is any change.
