Even though my proposed goal was not as &amp;#39;BIG&amp;#39; as yours, still putting everything together and working on the presentation took a LOT more than I had expected. My brain has been abuzz with a lot more ideas, and its been hard to keep on track and finish what I started. I am quite happy with the results and I am hoping others will try out some of these ideas on the blogs as well as else where. &lt;span&gt;[View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-1999745c-57f3-459a-a130-b79ecc403bff/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks DAB Sir, Most of what I make is out of scrap since I don&amp;#39;t really have an option and I hope others try out these methods and also suggest alternative scrap &lt;span&gt;[View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-1999745c-57f3-459a-a130-b79ecc403bff/contentimage_5F00_3.png:16:16]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks Jan Sir, That&amp;#39;s what I was hoping for. Those dancing minions have made a lot of visitors happy as well. &lt;span&gt;[View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-1999745c-57f3-459a-a130-b79ecc403bff/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks Mark sir, The DDOS attack is one reason I did not attach a live video feed to the minions dancing else my twitter account would be full of wishes. I did get a Raspberry Pi to stream video for my quadcopter project&amp;#39;s FPV and wanted to stream the project live but it did not seem like a good idea AFTER so many days of xmas past... Hence next year &lt;span&gt;[View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-1999745c-57f3-459a-a130-b79ecc403bff/contentimage_5F00_3.png:16:16]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=19735&amp;AppID=145&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: [Dynamic Living-Room Lights] IoT Holiday Lights Minions</title><link>https://community.element14.com/products/arduino/b/blog/posts/dynamic-living-room-lights-iot-holiday-lights-minions</link><pubDate>Wed, 21 Jan 2015 01:20:30 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:1999745c-57f3-459a-a130-b79ecc403bff</guid><dc:creator>mcb1</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;Inderpreet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Good.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;newsflash ....&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Minon inspired theme was attacked today in a new type of&amp;nbsp; &amp;#39;Denial Of Service&amp;#39; attack where the trigger comment was sent repeatedly. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The occupants were heavily sedated before being taken away, and doctors say in a few weeks they will be fit to return.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the meantime staff caring for them were warned to not use the term &amp;#39;happy&amp;#39;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRCjBNSnZ6rGwjqKIO-M-jRGawaTKI3kAkHPJLrsX25GWyn5yaJxA"&gt;&lt;img class="rg_i jive-image" name="kuk9J8yPH5193M:" src="https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRCjBNSnZ6rGwjqKIO-M-jRGawaTKI3kAkHPJLrsX25GWyn5yaJxA" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mark&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=19735&amp;AppID=145&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: [Dynamic Living-Room Lights] IoT Holiday Lights Minions</title><link>https://community.element14.com/products/arduino/b/blog/posts/dynamic-living-room-lights-iot-holiday-lights-minions</link><pubDate>Tue, 20 Jan 2015 23:10:58 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:1999745c-57f3-459a-a130-b79ecc403bff</guid><dc:creator>Jan Cumps</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;Neat!
