The Marquee Clock

Lately, I have been admiring my whizzy cool LED strip full of WS2801Bs.

I have it laid out along my desk and it's making neato colors and patterns all through the night.

My kids are fascinated with it.

So, last night, a thought popped into my head spontaneously "I wonder what my Ikea clock would look like if I put these LEDs in behind it?"

Today, I ripped apart the Ikea clock and stuck the LED strip loosely in behind it and made an animated GIF of it in action.

I like what I see so I started work on a new project called The Marquee Clock.

What do you think?

I have started a blog series about the design and development process on my personal web server.
