LED throwies at Brightlive
Yesterday I attended Brightlive in Amsterdam. And what a day it was! I left my precious laboratoryhouse at 6.30 am and made it back home at around 1.15 am… But it was worth it!
I’ve been ‘teaching’ people how to make GRL’s famous LED throwies…
Because of the throwie-campaign we(as in Bright) did earlier we all thought it was a good idea to let visitors make their own throwies, to get them into the DIY-mindset! *^_^*

...and it seems that’s been quite a success! *^_^*
The visitors helped us to get rid of 800 throwies!

...and this is one of the ways people helped us to get rid of 800 throwies (after throwing them first of course…):

Of course, LED throwies are courtesy of Graffiti Research Lab. That’s also the reason you won’t find it in my Projectlab, it’s their project, not mine. But I’m more than happy to get people enthusiastic about the DIY mindset and this is one of the ways to do that. It’s a whole lot more efficient than teaching people how to make 800 ipod-bike-chargers for instance… ^_^
If anyone inside the Netherlands needs help to get the right parts for a throwie-campaign, feel free to contact me. I can hook you up with addresses/contact-info and such.

Dear Mark,
I would like to do a throwie-campaign in the Netherlands. Could you send me information about where I can buy the right parts to make the throwies?
Regards,
Alexander Gijsbers
