    I would kick back and have a cup of coffee while all the other commentards ran in, and then waited until they posted what was over there. #flamegate

    You are in front of a blinding white tear in the fabric of the night.

    C:\ enter light

    You are surrounded by brilliance unimaginable to your mortal mind and you crap your pants in awe. The otherworldly harmonies of Radiohead are filling your ears with audio ghosts.

    I'd be wondering why whatever supernatural force responsible for the crack in the fabric of our known reality would be so sloppy as to make it an ominous craggy orifice into the unknown, rather than a nice rectangle, or even semicircle.

    Then I'd go in. What the hell. #flamegate

    @Kaiser-Machead: Perhaps the supernatural (or merely "advanced") force responsible finds asymmetry appealing? If so, our bilateral symmetry might offend them mightily. Best to hack your face up a bit, first, just to be sure. #flamegate

    It's gorgeous, and bizarrely informative (or informatively bizarre?)... but what the hell is its purpose? The Living Light article just calls it a "project". Best I can come up with is art installation to keep people thinking about how they're impacting their local air quality? It's also good for long-term data collection, I guess.

    Seems kinda silly as a daily warning system. People normally have shit to do in certain neighborhoods, so they can't just say, "Oh, air quality's bad in that area today, I guess I won't go," or, "Hey, air quality's bitchin' uptown, think I'll check that out!" Weekends would be another matter, I guess. #livinglight

    That is pretty amazing. I'd love to have something similar to this just hanging in my room, not for this purpose, but it looks like something out of stargate XD

    If anyone would like to let me know how to do the laser etching and such to make glass light up like that, please let me know, DIY FTW! :D #livinglight

    @Jaredu: I'm gonna guess (and not RTFA) that the glass is simply acid etched. The glass panels are then made to light up like that by putting LEDs on the edge of the glass. #livinglight

    @Jaredu: [www.wootenmetal.com]

    They can laser etch any vector or raster image into anything from plate steel to blue jeans. They can also do glass. Oh, and if anyone is interested they told me they can probably do iPhones (I was specifically asking about first gen, not sure how the plastic would hold up).

    After you etch the glass, just end-light it with a LED strip.

    I also like water at night, but the light would disturb my sleep. (This would be GREAT for kids who like a night light anyway.) I use a cup that is sealed and has a straw through the top. If I do knock it over, there is minimal spillage and I can go right back to the land of Nod.
