Vestaboard

A former coworker just posted his latest toy to Facebook. Sure to make game show fans happy. It's a big, old-school, flip-type message board to hang on your wall. Only $3k.

Cool! Our local brewery has a much smaller one that changes in real time anytime someone follows them on Facebook.

And because I’m a big kid, I followed, unfollowed, and re-followed just to watch the numbers change.

One of these things?

I've done the same thing.

Six rows of 22 alphanumeric characters each. Lots of word games could be played on that!

It starts with word, there's a G underneath

Bumping this to share that they're coming out with a new, slightly more affordable model soon called the Vestaboard Note. Three rows of fifteen characters each.

I've seen these. I've seen their price. But I love the potential.

Wonder what they could do with a Ferranti-Packard style board.

Holy crap, still a thousand dollars? (I had no idea the big ones were thirty-five hundy. That's insane.)

I was looking into 3D printing just a single one of the modules. Turns out it's quite doable if you have the time. A lot of time. On my printer (which is damn fast) my back-of-napkin math suggests a single character would take about 24 hours to print. (That's 26 letters / 10 digits / space.)

I saw one in a “coffee shop” in Amsterdam. If one partook, this thing would keep you riveted for hours.

If you want a smaller version, a rival company (that may or may not have furnished Game Changer on a recent episode) has a 5-digit custom setup for $479.

My dude, I would be drier than Death Valley and still find it riveting.
