On the software side maybe to create a mobile interface to let viewers activate the display by donating a dollar to our local food pantry. That is something I know nothing about but would like to do.
On the hardware side Craig's plasma icicles are on my hot list this year then the pixel spiral...
Great info, thanks for all the help, successfully fired up the pixels today.

5vdc 2811 String of 50
(0.3 Watts * 50) @ 5vdc = 3 amps per 50 string

Nice job, just a few things to consider.....
My LOR-CCP came with two 50 pixel strands for less than the price of one CCR.
My box of 2811's from Ray worked out to about $24 for each 50 pixel strand inc shipping. (Hopefully I got a deal)
