Surf Indicating Lamp

Is the surf up? If not, why even bother getting up? This may not be a problem for you in the future, thanks to Max Ashford. He's a design student in the UK. For a class project, he had to develop a product that uses an Arduino controller and has a milled casing. The Surf Indicating Lamp was the result of his efforts.

It gathers data from Magic Seaweed, a website that reports on surfing conditions. Different LEDs inside the lamp light up based on what Magic Seaweed says. If the surf is under 2 feet, it's red. If it's 2-4 feet, the lamp turns blue. If it's over 4 feet, the lamp turns green.

I used to be obsessed with that tree. I've never been to Disney, but when they first built it, I'd go on about how many animals were on it and how long it took to make. Yeesh.

It's actually at Animal Kingdom, and it's pretty awesome. It's kind of the definitive spot to take pictures in front of, much like Cinderella's castle is at the Magic Kingdom.
