What do you get when you combine mooninite inspired LEDs with items from Mario games? No, not bomb scares in Boston, silly. Check out these videos if you're interested in these projects by Carl Cartagena, where he makes star, turnip, bomb-omb, and mushroom LEDs. For extra points, Carl either wrote or remixed all the music in these vids, too.
Some of them are a bit lengthy, but it's worth at least checking out the finished products. More LED videos after the break, just be sure not to invite any Boston police.

Yep, it was a marketing campaign for Aqua Teen Hunger Force gone awry. Check out the Wikipedia link in the post (where is says "bomb scares in Boston") to understand the connection.

i dont think it was even marketing, i just remember 2 guys talking about their hair, because their lawyer told them not to talk about the pictures.

I wish I had the resources, skill, and knowlege on how to make these kinds of things... I took an electronics class in high school and am pretty decent at soldering but I don't know how to do anything very in-depth. :(
Here is a website that shows how to make your own Mooninite signs. Even has an animated finger. :)

I like how the clock on the turnip one is just there to show everyone that he wasted an entire day assembling it. Nifty, but worth 7 hours? I'm going to have to go with a "no" on this one.

Pay close attention at 1:19 (-2:37) on the first video.

Decoder lag, so what?
It happens 3 times during the video.

Wow, that looks really complicated and not satisfying at all. What he did was basically take hour upon hours to make something that could have been done on a lightbright in about thirty seconds. Congratulations guy, you have no life.

That's basically like saying "Why spend hours painting a landscape when you could take a picture in seconds".
Most hobbies are similar to that -- the end result is not the reasoning behind it as much as the experience of actually doing it. Plus you earn bragging rights...
"Dude, check this out. Yeah, I made it. I'm awesome, I know".
