I have met one of these guys Shawn Stephens. They were simply doing a job for a Turner network affiliate Corporation the cartoon network.
They called CNN at 9 a.m. in the morning and told them what was up. No wonder these guys made a “joke” of the whole thing. The news media was the problem here. They even offered to meet CNN representatives and remove the devices themselves at 9 a.m. the story ran the whole day.
I guess there was more money in running it as a TERRORIST EVENT for the day than stopping the hysteria.
If CNN and Turner had to pay $2 million to correct it that’s OK with me.
These young entrepreneurs however did nothing wrong. I believe the courts agree.
Hey, I saw this today – Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories came out with this really cool looking hardware kit that lets you arrange and rearrange LEDs on a 25×25 matrix just like you would Lite Brite pegs! Perfect for your own Mooninite signage!
It’s a versatile and powerful light-emitting pegboard that lets you efficiently drive hundreds of LEDs in whatever configuration you like, without so much as calculating a single load resistor.

Not surprisingly, similar devices started popping up all over Boston early this morning.
