Here's what Mike was making for my birthday...it's a pummer. In case you forgot, the solar cell gathers sunlight all day, and then at night the stored-up energy makes the LEDs glow. As you can see, the wooden circle was the base for the plant stalks. Mike and I are going to get some fake moss or something to cover the wood so the whole thing looks more like a plant.

I considered bringing it to school to keep in my office, but we recently had a bomb threat so I figured any suspiciously-blinking items might freak out the janitors.

Mike is now working hard on a Christmas present for me. I haven't seen any parts yet, but I'll be curious to find out what it is.
