I built a new CheerLight for 2012 dubbed the CheerLCD!

The idea is if you tweet to @cheerlights with a color, it'll change the color of my CheerLight (and everyone elses too!)

I built one in 2011, but here's the new one for 2012.

I used a USB+Serial Backpack LCD Display and a 3D printed stand. The device connects to a computer that is running a simple Perl script.

And the 3D printed stand was a featured object on Thingiverse:
