Twitter LED Matrix DIY gadget

While reading the MAKE Magazine feeds, I ran across a very cool project: an LED Matrix connected to an Arduino showing twitter updates from a computer (it uses Processing).

Here's a video:

 

It's definitely going to help me in my LED Matrix experimentation: I just received the 8x8 dual color led matrix I ordered at Sparkfun. I think I'm going to use the Propeller because I need 22 pins (to use 2 color (red/green) or even 3 when both red and green leds are on) and multiprocessing is useful for this kind of things. And I thought I could do a kind of labytinth game with my memsic accelerometer.

And here's the LED matrix I have:

I'll post on Al and Tech when I get something done.
