Fun With LED Signs

kitchi is a program that periodically downloads news, weather, friend-updates, and other pieces of information to a scrolling LED sign.

All you need is a scrolling LED sign like the one shown at the right and this software.

Connect the LED sign to a USB-port or serial-port on your computer and see another side of the internet with this software.

Some possible places this software may be useful:

¤ home entertainment area ¤ sports bar / pub ¤ news paper office ¤ data-center ¤ foreign language class ¤ coffee shop ¤ radio station ¤ weather station ¤ home-office

The software name kitchi is from the Algonquin language and means "brave" or "great".
