Not directly synth, but the DIY aspect can be applied and it was sent in.

"Long before Daft Punk's motor cycle helmets with LED messages scrolling by or Lady GaGa's video display glasses we were apart of a generation limited to displaying text on calculators with small indistinguishable red coloured displays......Oh Joy..... I remember as a kid running around the house showing my family how to spell words like "bOObS", "hEllO" and "ShEll". This was accomplished by entering in certian numbers then holding the calculator upside down.....Ah memories. It appears that 8 bit music is being intergrated into popular music each day i.e. "The Time (dirty bit) by The Black Eye Peas". So why not build your own pair of archaic antiquated 10 digit 7 segmented display glasses. Just image you will be able to star in your own music videos or just stand out in the crowd in the middle of the dance floor. Should any drinks be dropped in your lap or thrown in your face have no fear of electrocution because these glasses can easily operate on battery power. Should you decide to be a Super Uber Geek and build your own glasses utilizing Nixie tubes than I am not resposible for your hair catching on fire or tempoary blindness caused by the 170+ volts coarsing through your temples. If you are still interseted in obtaing the schematic and PIC basic code then send me your email address.
