That's an awesome channel. I always subscribe via RSS to channels I like but something about that type of page, with the user name in the URL instead of the channel id, make it really hard to find the feed url. It's not even in the page source like regular channels (looking at page source even caused a 500 in Firefox). I almost gave up but I finally managed to find it [1] if anyone else wants it.
I really want to play with these ESP8266. I've got a couple of them gathering dust, any good resources for a beginner with a Raspberry Pi as the system to program those?
Very cool project and hilarious video (the old floppy used as a solder iron holder is priceless:)
I just ordered some glow in the dark tape to do a few experiments as I'm sure it can be light by a laser (possibly IR) to make much bigger displays. Does anyone have some of such tape and could confirm?
Also bonus points for the simple and readable site, though it doesn't word wrap correctly, it seems the text wrapping is fixed to the upper image size: once its white background stops shrinking also does the text wrapping.
You want to go in the other direction - ultra violet. There are LEDs that are in the 360-380nm range that don't produce visible light, but will still charge glow-in-the-dark materials. The higher the frequency, the less efficient it will be, however, and below 320nm they can be hazardous to skin or eyes.
IIRC, red laser light can cause some glow in the dark materials to lose charge more rapidly, so you could potentially build a wiping mechanism that would allow you to display information faster on the barrel.

How I miss that.....
