LED word clock thingy

This isn't circuitbent but i made it for a christmas present so i just thought i'd show it off a bit. Its got something like 110 x 10mm LED's behind a 50cm x 50cm dark tinted plastic panel and a word stencil. The LED's are controlled by a PIC microcontroller.
It was made using the instructible at
http://www.instructables.com/id/A-Word-Clock/
as a starting point.
I did it on stripboard with a separate board for the power supply. Theres some minor adjustments to the circuit but it does work fine with the schematic on the instructible.

If at first you don't succeed, stick it through a fuzzbox.
