Super Mario World cover songs…

129379015 S I really like these, they’re good enough to play in front of your non-gamer pals too! The complete soundtrack to Super Mario World, covered by one man using dozens of instruments.

Propeller Clock

Mclock02 S Another POV project- this one is neat clock. A motor spins the “propeller”, and a small microprocessor keeps track of time and changes the pattern on seven LEDs with exact timing to simulate a 7 by 30 array of LEDs. It is an illusion, but it works nicely. Link.
