i-Knock USB IM Notifier Punishes Himself For Your Instant Messages
Posted by John Mahoney at 11:30 PM on August 7, 2008
Plug in this USB doll, set up your Skype, Yahoo or MSN client, and when your friends IM you, he hits himself on the head with a hammer. Feel free to tape a new face on him, so a relevant party receives the pain with each lolcat link that gets passed to you. You can also patch the i-Knock with custom MP3s to play for extra special IM-ers. [Stysen via Slippery Brick]

every time I get an IM at work I want to hit myself in the head with a hammer. I might have to pick one of these up

A USB voodoo doll. Finally, no more sharp pins and burning the crotch of Ken dolls with my enemies faces taped on... it's strictly USB hammerin' from here on out. I'll be sending messages to myself... hours of entertainment!

Indeed, although in my call center id get the can if i tried that. Lotus notes pretty much hits me in the head with a hammer itself anyways.

I like the custom MP3 sound part, as my list is divided into 2 categories anyway: Friends group and the TimeOut/Penalty group, who are generally stalkers who are only on my list so that I can keep them stealthed and they NEVER know I am on line.

I wonder if they just need to write a plugin for AIM. The newer versions of AIM does have plugin support and I do use AIM a lot more than MSN. I guess most of these feature MSN and everything but AIM because AIM seems to be mostly popular in the US while everywhere else prefers MSN or Yahoo.
@chonnes:
Haha that would be entertaining!

The only USB IM notifier I need is a miniature Bat Signal that projects onto the wall. Is that too much to ask?

Only in the US. Everywhere else everybody uses MSN.
