Oh Christmas tree! Oh Christmas tree! How luminous are your LEDs!

Hey all, Brigid here!

Recently, local artist and friend of The Hacktory, Tim Eads, created his own artistic interpretation of the Christmas tree. Made of zigzagging white metal and blue LEDs, we here at The Hacktory think that the final product is nothing short of a Christmas miracle! (We like it and we want to put a bow on it!)

Since Tim’s schedule was tight he reached out to The Hacktory to see if any of Santa’s little hacking helpers could lend a hand with the electrical. I was lucky enough to answer the call, and since I had so much fun trimming this tree, I wanted to take a moment to spread the holiday cheer!

Keep us in mind for your future projects as we all love to help! Also, consider taking a break from your last minute shopping to go and visit Tim’s tree on display in the lobby of Le Méridien Hotel, 1421 Arch Street.

Happy holidays everyone!
