Carl sent in this Spinning RGB LED Ball Display project that he did when he was only 16! The visual effects are fantastic. There are a few images of the actual system at the end of the video and it looks very well done. Hopefully we can get some more pictures of the system.

Openschemes shows us how those $10 USB to RS232 adapters can be hacked to provide us a valuable tool.
