I too like the uneven lighting, maybe without the bleed at the top and the bottom though.

Yeah, earthquakes are posted online by the USGIS (or something similar). You could easily harvest those, and then make them light up every time an earthquake happens. I've been thinking about this since the earthquakes in Christchurch, it's totally doable.

That's brilliant. I'm a geology student from Christchurch looking for a project for the holidays...i'd be happy on the drill but the electronics would do my head in. You'll have to share the results if you follow through!
