Neon is Dead, Long Live LEDs!

(download)

Taiwanese people have a great affinity for LEDs. They use them to bling-ify their scooters, blind you into buying betel nut from their scantily clad women, and occasionally they even do something useful with them, like use high-powered white LEDs to light the way in front of their folding bicycles when they go for a night ride, or advertise that you can get 20% off if you buy a couch this week.
However, that was all just a warm up, really, for this - the practical replacement of neon. Check out what Taichung city has done to their new baseball stadium with a gazillion LED's and a computer control program. Pretty impressive.

Earth to Roger, Earth to Roger, do you copy?
Dude How are you? Long time - no reply to SMSes or FB messages. :( You cut me deep man! Dude - looking for more chop ink. I've started using it to sign stuff at work (nice touch and the lighties can't really forge it). But running out fairly quickly. Is there any way that you could get me some more - obviously I'll pay.

Hey Glen

Sorry about the lack of responses! Seems I'm not getting your messages for some reason, so don't take it personally! Re ink, sure I can post you some. Just let me know your address in an email.
