West-coast friend-of-a-friend are making LED music-responsive poi. http://www.personalauradevice.com/
His description:

Seeing them in action is amazing — they have one controller with a microphone that wirelessly controls boards fitted with with extremely bright red, green and blue LEDs. The main music mode ties intensity of each color to a different frequency band in the audio, so base and drums beat in the blues, mid-tones in the greens and vocalists and guitar are followed by the red. It's pretty hypnotic to watch, especially when they've got two sets of poi plus costuming all pulsing in unison to the music.

In other news I've got my scanner working reasonably well. If I've given you a picture I took of you at some event or other and you'd like an online version please drop me an email or leave a comment. I can do full-sized or LJ-icon sized.
