Ignignokt in the light

Ignignokt in the light by xjohnpaulx.
i don't have my good camera here, i'll post a better pict of the circuit later. the back has a coat of black paint (to avoid shorts) and rare-earth magnets to keep it up. kind of like throwies in formation.

just for scale: those are D cell batteries, the LEDs are 10mm super-brights, and the board is about 12"x14".

this is the same mooninite board that was borrowed for Good Morning America, NY's ABC7 news and some other ABC national feed. i know a bunch of news sources (online, print and TV) also snagged two of my flickr pictures. hopefully it helped people realize they are not bombs, fake bombs or anything toooo much more complicated than christmas lights.

too bad these are now becoming a news story - in Boston these are suspect for 'bombs" although I think it's just a tagger who wants to spread these during the night (with the lights and all) i hate Fox News.

The Boston Bomb Squad just blew one of these up a few blocks from my house. What a fucking joke.

They've been around for a few weeks, too. www.flickr.com/photos/rekha6/365208141/ Maybe it's the ones on the bridges that freaked everyone out.

i am a jerk for not putting a wkdu or philly shreds sticker on the batteries. argh! who knew!

and yes, i think that is this picture. some other news channels used this one and the other picture of him lit up. for whatever reason my pictures seemed to pop up high in google searches. the one has 9,000+ views now. wednesday morning it had something like 150.

well, the news covered up the batteries with their distracting crawl anyway, so it's not that big of adeal right?
