This video confuses me to no end, and that has nothing to do with me staying up until four in the morning drinking rum and playing tower defense games. Yo Ho Ho, I’m Captain More-Ham!

Besides putting on a pretty light show, this device also tells time. I don’t quite get how it pulls this off, but after seeing the video, I’m pretty sure that a functional hard drive isn’t necessary.

I’m pretty sure that you could set this thing to hypnotize people, which could come in really handy when the IRS performs their audit this afternoon.

EDIT: I’m getting a huge refund! Thanks Uncle Sam.

Okay, so they’ve dubbed it a “winter” light show. Whatever you want to call it, it’s hard to complain about a display featuring 4.5 million LED lights. The theme is flowers, with 64 billion colors that change so quickly that it is reminiscent of a flowing river. What I want to know: how do they get 64 million colors from 4.5 million lights, and who’s counting?
