Adafruit and BoingBoing Links from Class

Kits that I thought were cool:

I'm very interested in color and light and these are some interesting kits/products that I found that I found to be a cool use of LED's (just from browsing for a few minutes).

I like the emphasis placed existing colors by amplifying it outside of the frame of the TV with the addition of LEDs here:

And the incorporation of the LEDs in something unexpected, like a tabletop, engages me in this one:

The following two products are just so bizarre that they're intriguing to me. I really wonder how that altering of sensory input would be for the glasses one, and the egg painting one was just bizarre cool gadget.

These couple blog posts brought up ideas that I'm interested in about print and digital graphics, what it means to manipulate them, how they are perceived, and how you can influence how their perceived by their style:

I haven't listened to this one yet, but I'm really intrigued by what it might be like conceptually:
