Say Hello to the John Hancock Building…living room edition. This lamp was created in my kitchen. Had some great help from Chad Paulson,  Joe Van Wetering and Miller High Life. Without going into great detail We built a scale model of the John Hancock building.  The lights on the top change color when the actual building changes color.  The lamp is connected to my in home wifi. Speedy Joe made a nice interface for the phone and tablet which you can control the colors, brightness, and of course make the Lamp do something we call “Trip Mode”  It was a super fun project and we all learned a lot!  If you have questions about it don’t be afraid to write me charles@charlesfesta.com  
In other news a company known as Lifx has a kickstarter project going on right now that is similar to what we created.  They are reinventing the light bulb by embedding certain technology in the bulb itself.  I saw this yesterday and it looks really cool but as we found out over the past year of creating our lamp it is a lot of work and a ton of time. Check out LIFX project here.   http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/limemouse/lifx-the-light-bulb-reinvented?ref=users
