MAKE: put us on the alert that LED art is all over the city today, and the Bush-Meets-Mooninite piece is only one of the samples visible at the MAKE: Blog.

What moved you to speak out this year? A Lite Brite giving you the finger? The Red Sox? The death of Mr. Butch?

The press release really told us all we needed to know: "When an immortal piece of exercise equipment threatens the balance of galactic peace, it is up to the Aqua Teen Hunger Force to run away from it. Peril escalates when the Plutonians team up with the Cybernetic ghost of Christmas Past to strive for ultimate control of the deadly device."

January 31, 2007 is a day that will forever asking hair questions. We'd like to live without the nationwide ridicule, but that isn’t likely to happen so we'll embrace it. From Chocolate Cake City, the makers of Brokeback to the Future, comes Lite Brite or Die Hard. "Will John McClane (Bruce Willis) be able to save the day once again? Find out in this, the next chapter of the Die Hard series."

The Graffiti Research Lab, or GRL, is a group "dedicated to outfitting graffiti artists with open source technologies for urban communication." They'd like you to know that they were not part of the Great Lite Brite Incident of 2007 yesterday. The company Turner Broadcasting hired for their marketing initiative, Interference, Inc ripped off ideas that the street artists at GRL had posted and used it for commerce – pretty much opposite the goal of GRL. Interference, by the way, has posted an apology on their website after being down for most of the day yesterday

We at Interference, Inc. regret that our efforts on behalf of our client contributed to the disruption in Boston yesterday and certainly apologize to anyone who endured any hardship as a result. Nothing undertaken by our firm was in any way intended to cause anxiety, fear or discomfort to anyone. We are working with Turner Broadcasting and appropriate law enforcement and municipal authorities to provide information as requested and take other appropriate actions.

The Subversive Choppers' Urban Legion (a.k.a. SCUL) has been on the Boston radar for a couple of years anyhow. Today MAKE blog, the blog behind the incredibly hot DIY magazine, has uncovered the (mostly) Cambridge/Somerville/Allston wonderment that is the SCUL brand of modified bicycles. If you haven't seen one of their tall bikes, choppers, or other tricked out two-wheeled vehicles you haven't been paying enough attention to your surroundings when walking the streets of Boston. The outrageous changes they've made to the average bicycle are even more noticeable than South End Sara's new Duck Boat markings. MAKE uncovered a Flickr set of SCUL modifications and reported their wonderment. It's unclear if they've had a chance to view Operation SuperPosi, the SCUL movie that screened at Coolidge Corner Theatre last summer. Grab your tall-bike or mod 'em if you got 'em and roll on over to enter your latest creation in the contest MAKE is running – post your bike-mod pic in their Flickr pool and they've promised to send the best of the best a little something something from their swag shop.
