Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Gadgets, Technology , add a commentI really like the music in this video by Graffiti Researd Lab showing LED Throwies. Well composed!
A Throwie consists of a lithium battery, a 10mm diffused LED and a rare-earth magnet taped together.
From the Make:Blog comments. One commenter questions the environmental impact:
what do you think the ecological impact of peppering the landscape with a handful of lithium batteries is?
And another bemoans the waste of good electronics:
It seems a shame to have the still good magnet and still good LED slaved to a dead battery halfway up a wall.

Mom, exasperated: "I can’t hear shit!"
Amy, 3 years: "Mom. Why can’t you hear a ship?"
I was laughing tears out of my eyes about the time Amy said "hear."
