How to make your Shisha/Hookah glow - the easy and cheap way.
just came up with the idea as i was cleaning my shisha. i noticed the wrinkle underneath it and remembered the led throwies. so i put it together. might not work with every shisha - just try if you can mount the leds underneath it.

Convert a totally underwhelming foam skull into a Halloween speaker system.
-=Backstory=-
I was at Abott’s party store in Littleton, NH a couple days ago and saw a foam skull. Upon first glance it looked like your basic Halloween prop, until I saw the LEDs in its eyes. I immediately knew this would be the prop of a lifetime… with the sort of technology it was hiding in its cranium, the skull might be able to:
a) Scare the daylights outa the neighborhood kids
b) Dispense fortunes when it detected questions directed at it
c) Do the dishes, walk the dog and fetch me a beer
d) All of the above
With visions of sugarplums dancing in my head, I reached down with hands trembling in anticipation and flicked the "ON" switch.
Its eyes lit up.
they didn’t even blink.
I was utterly devestated.
It was then and there that I decided to remedy this great injustice. I purchased the skull and began brainstorming.
Ten Redbulls later I hit upon an idea…
What if the skull could talk…
what if his eyes lit up while he talked…
Brilliant!
so I set to work…

Listening to music on my pc (proudly using WINAMP), I was wondering how would be to have some leds blinking with the sound that came out from the P2 connector, so I decided to make a simple circuit to do that. It worked pretty fine, so I decided to write a HowTo telling step-by-step how to do it. Hope you enjoy it!

If you’re sick and tired of those damned analog dice, now you can build your own up-to-date dice for the mid-00’s with the LED Shaking Dice Kit. It’s a $15 set of parts that includes all the components you need to assemble a single die (get two for some real dice throwing).
Shake this assembled contraption, and it flashes its lights and then displays a number of lit LEDs that may or may not be random. Good luck finding an opponent who doesn’t think these things are hackable. Now exactly what was wrong with the old-fashioned kind of dice?
