Build Your Own Cityscape

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the we-built-this-city-from-rock-and-roll dept.

Hoagy writes "Many friends think I've moved when I show them this picture. I've constructed a lit model of midtown Manhattan to fill an otherwise unspectactular view out of our kitchen window. The website details the construction process and how to design and build your own. The city lights also automatically turn on/off via an X10 cronjob on my home Linux server." Nice hack job.

    News agencies have been doing this for years. People aren't really interviewed in front of the best view in the city.

    P.S. The cityscapes in the background on Connan and Leno and Letterman aren't real either.
