This is so incredible. I thought it was so cool but wondered, what is this steam punk? So I googled a bit. Now i'm in big trouble. I think I might try this.

Nicely done! Was thinking about using a microcontroller to retrofit an old typewriter with a USB connection, but this seems a lot more feasible and looks beautiful.

Thank you :)
I wouldn't have thought of the hair-gel either if I wouldn't have seen this: Hair Gel + LED = light
