I had a puppet replica of Tom Servo which I built over 20 years ago. After many years and lots of knocking around, the poor guy had worn out a lot. I replaced some old parts, stripped out the puppetry mechanisms, wired him up as a lamp, and added a color-changing LED smart bulb and some glass marbles for diffusion. Now he's the sassiest light source in the house!

All that remains is to clean up his old chipped paint job a little. I'll get to that sometime.

I've also posted this to Mastodon.
