For our Monday evening meeting I can also bring some hackable holidays 
lights, if there is interest.  These are a string of 50 outdoor lights 
where each individual bulb has a 3 LED's - red, blue, & green which 
allow it to change to a rainbow of colors.  The data signal has been 
reverse-engineered and with a micro controller such as an Arduino, these 
lights can be programmed to do your bidding.  Pretty neat.  The Arduino 
programming interface is native to linux but has been ported to other 
platforms.  The language is basically C.
