People who know me well enough know that I'm a lighting junkie and here's yet another way to satisfy my inner blinkie (take that in any way you see fit).

These little doodads are basically throwable, portable lightbulbs. Luckily I happen to have bag-fulls of old LEDs kicking it at the ranch and will gleefully bust out my trusty soldering iron before month's end to construct a couple of these little widgets.

Also of note is the coolness of Instructables, an interesting (and growing) collection of user-submitted creations. These are things that should go straight into MAKE Magazine, but if they were all in there, the "mook" would become an "magcyclopedia" sized affair. Not good for your coffee table, that's for sure...
