This week we are going to continue with the "moving picture" theme and build a Phenakistoscope. Luckily for all of us, it's a lot easier to build than it is to pronounce.

There is a new version of the Firefly that was featured yesterday. The new version was built on a manufactured PCB and looks very good! Full build details are provided.

The guys over at Hak5 have created a fun Graffiti Wall, this wall takes entries from the web and projects them on a huge display on their wall. The text display is just the beginning, games are planned in the future!
Give the wall a try!
Have a look at the code that makes it tick.
