OT Cateye Light.

I had my Cateye Opticube sitting on my desk. Somebody sent me an SMS.
The SMS caused the Cateye light to turn on.

If a call is made to the mobile the Cateye light will switch on and off
a few times.
The phone has to be reasonably close to the light.

I now have a visual warning that an SMS is about to arrive.

I've got a variation on that. I use my HRM as my watch and find that
power tools and airport metal detectors both trigger the HRM to start.
So if the chest strap battery runs out, just strap a circular saw to
your chest.

Having seen the light, that's one way to cut through the opposition,
and deter feral car drivers as well

Aha - a possible bike-mounted mobile phone detection device! Can you rig
it up with a callback function (ie: when you're riding about) that
emanates an pre-recorded message on the same frequency to any errant
motorist within 20m to GET OFF THE FECKING PHONE.

Just a idea.
