7-Segment LED Arduino Conway's Game of Life Display (UPDATE1)

Update.  Enclosed now, in beautiful ruby red plexi from eStreet plastics.  Also added two relays, simply for sound effects.  See video below.  Life generations progress faster upon every iteration, speed maxes out at 100 generations.   Max generations are 65k, upon which an integer rolls over and a new simulation is started.

Arduino based Network NTP Clock (Update2)

Progress... Started building case.  Ruby red plexi from eStreet Plastics.  Looks really slick.  Yes, that IS masking tape holding part of the 7-segment display in... I am still waiting for some IPS weld-on #3 glue... Damn ebay.
