Telegraph key taps out RSS feeds in Morse

This USB telegraph receiver converts RSS feeds to Morse code and then clatters them out at speed. This could be very useful for those times when you can't look at the screen (say, when you're performing surgery) but still want to keep up with your feeds. Link (via Make)

Update: Jake sez, "it's not USB - that would have been cooler, but harder to implement. The telegraph is hooked up to the 'Caps Lock' light on the keyboard and the light is flashed using the Cryptonomicon-inspired Morse2LED program."
