Blogging My Life...
Have to thank Judah over at Diamond Vues for spotting this puppy.
LEDKippah.com is selling Kippah's, the thing some Jews wear on their heads, with scrolling LEDs on them.
A Kippah (כִּפָּה), also known as a yarmulka (יאַרמלקע) is a head covering for a Jewish male. You see it on my cartoon picture above. They came in various colors, styles, sizes and fabrics.
This is the first geeked out one I have seen. So guess what? I ordered one.
They are pretty expensive, but I figured - I'll splurge on this one.
1 - 5 Pieces $20
6 - 24 Pieces $18
25 - 50 Pieces $16
51 - 100 Pieces $15
101+ Pieces $14.50
I think shipping is $10.
I'll let you know when I get it and Ill post some head-shots.

Cool!
You might consider outfitting your basketball team with these.

That is an idea.
What would it cost you to walk around with one of these in mid-town?

Too bad they're mukzeh on Shabbos!
btw - I'm still trying to figure out what that particular LED says on the attached picture (and even the enlarged one on your Flickr photostream)

I think it will scroll "Harry" but I can be wrong...
Why is it mukzeh? Just turn it on before Shabbos. No?

Barry;
Just checked out the price at the Judaica Store down the block. $20.00/each
Holy Smokes Batman! Mucho Expensive!

Yea, it is.
So how much can I pay you to wear it with a scrolling, rustybrick.com ad on your kippah?

I just saw this kippah at the Purim carnival here and ordered some at ledkippah.com. They are for my son's Bar Mitzvah. They are so much fun, everyone will love them. Will be worth the expense when my son sees his name in lights.
