« Holy MP3! It's Bat-Tunes. | Main | Also, don't bring this pumpkin... » Tuesday, October 23, 2007Do not bring this pumpkin light...to Logan Airport.  I noticed it on the website of Make magazine a couple of days ago. (We Bostonians sit up and take notice whenever a circuit board, LEDs, and a 9-volt battery are anywhere near one another.) The device's maker, "smariotti," explains: Pumpkin Light uses two high-output 5mm white LEDs, a nine volt battery, a ATtiny13v and a handful of parts to create a flasher that you can put inside a pumpkin or other light-up decoration. Or you can create a hoax device! Posted by Joshua Glenn at 08:34 AM
