Addressable LEDs Overview: youtu.be/VNhWM4Mnd-I
It was only a matter of time before Dr. D-Flo built another clock out of NeoPixel LEDs. He stumbled upon Adafruit's word clock project. While the concept was cool, Dr. D-Flo felt like the design lacked style. By nature a word clock is not practical, so it needs to look classy. Therefore, Dr. D-Flo decided to make his clock with an anodized aluminum face. He did not stop at one but ended up building 5 clocks!

Looking for a unique and classy technology-related gift for someone special? In the following videos Dr. D-Flo and his team launch a competition to see who can make the cheapest and classiest design for a Nixie Tube Clock. In this three-part series, the team describes their competition by laying out the rules (one of which is a $50 spending limit), combs through antique stores to find unique items, and then proceeds to design and engineer casings for these Nixie Tube Clocks. We hope you enjoy watching the competition and it gives you some great ideas for DIY gifts! Let us know in the comments who you think won!
