O'Reilly Media's Make Magazine was the second place I saw the
"Throwies". First place was on the cube sculpture in NY at Cooper Union.
Reusable graffiti!

the "cube" - "Free BORF" video http://graffitiresearchlab.com/?page_id=17
Do the lights have to be embedded inside ice? Can they be done with
[cold] [ruby] lasers and holographic film? The effect is a 3D image that
can be suspended within the ice sculpture without placing anything in
the ice at all. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holography. The image looks
real and solid. You can view it from all sides. Quite impressive at parties.
you should ask the guys over at makezine.com they are always hacking
stuff like this!

I have two of those oversized calculators that I got on sale for $1
each. A few of those could work. You may find other parts inside that
can be useful on other projects. I have some left over solar panels from
AstroPower that are 6x6 and 8x8 that I use to recharge batteries for
outdoor lights, but I forgot about the tiny calc cells. Thanks for the
reminder.
Any idea how to wire an LED to the cell? Where to solder? Pix? Oh it's
so much fun to take things apart and rearrange them [when it works]!!
