After a few months of ongoing person fun I have gotten back to working on the Chumby project(s). I started working on a version of Chumote ( http://tomhiggins.github.com/chumote/) that works with Zurk's Setup (https://sourceforge.net/projects/zurk/files/) such that when chumby.com goes away the devices can putter along. 

The other idea I had was to use a chumby as a Piratebox (http://wiki.daviddarts.com/PirateBox) , think of it as an wifi ap loving data treasure trove to be found and used by the wandering energies around the location you plant it. First was to see if the device (I have an Infocast 3.5)  can even do AP mode….this helped (http://code.google.com/p/chumbydevboot/source/browse/trunk/chumbydevboot/start_chumby.sh?r=2) …so now the idea is to  work up a usb stick that will boot the device into a proper PIratebox setup.
