Heard about it again on the radio yesterday (the hosts called it "nerd cool"), and it is featured on Engadget today!

Re: What happens when a bored EE gets ahold of 57,600 LEDs

57,600 LEDs cost a lot of money, even if they're only a dime or a quarter a piece.

The flex circuit boards and automated soldering are also expensive.

But the real expensive part is the six months it took to figure it all out.

neat! It's all over the tech/geek/nerd blogs. Interesting about the batteries, everyone is so concerned about battery life...he has 5 sets of batteries for it already. They fit in your pockets, one on each side.
