Skyliner Virtual Message Writer. - Neatorama

Skyliner Virtual Message Writer is programmable "spinner" with LEDs that you spin to create a message in thin air.

Versatile Visions (my company) has just launched our NEW version (v.3) of the Skyliner - Virtual Message Writer. The messages appear in a 360 degree circumference. They are over 2\" tall. There are 11 presets and you can program 3 of your own messages up to 18 characters in length.

What are the combinations for the new Skyliner

Abusive comment hidden. (Show it anyway.)

As with sam, I got mine at Disneyland around 10 years ago too.

I've taken it to several concerts and have always been asked about it. I wish I was a vendor of these things, I could be rich!

Not much improvement over the original other than some slightly different presets and colors.

Shame that they still only allow 3 custom and you only get 2 extra letters (16 on the one I have).

I got one of those from disney world like 10 years ago

I had a prototype of one of these several years ago and one of its preprogrammed message was "I have a boner!"

THAT, is a big deal. I mean whoohoo, a zebra subspecies, but that's no the point. It's humans attempting to bring back something that is extinct. That's the hugeness of this news.

Thats what fascinated me about this. We already breed animals for certain traits, and we can now map genes. Breeding existing animals to match a gene map of a bygone animal is a whole new area.

That's certainly a neat project, but besides the "wow, we can do it" factor, what's the value?

So the quagga is extinct - we humans live on and have improved living conditions since the late 19th century. Why do we need a zebra subspecies?

Just thinking outloud.

Now, if it was a giant woolly mammoth, THAT'll be different! :)

Hey Alex--I'm currently sticking my tongue out at you, out loud. ;-)

I like the fact that humans are genuinely trying to bring back something that humans made extinct through their own ignorance. It gives me hope that we haven't thoroughly mired ourselves in exactly that thought of "Oh well, that's just the way it goes, it's dead and gone but WE must go on, etc."

And frankly, it's better research than engineering a subcutaneous bra... ;-)
