The build-monitoring lava lamp

Get your ultra-geek on and monitor the status of your scheduled software builds with these ambient lava lamps. Take a couple off-the-shelf lava lamps, a smattering of those X10 home automation devices, and some free-to-you custom software and gaze in wide-wonder at your programming skills (or lack thereof) via these "eXtreme feedback devices."
Happy, green bubbles indicate a successful build, while those seething red bubbles indicate trouble-a-brewin'. Just for fun, set these up in your marketing department to add some audible squeals of delight and moans of agony.
