A New Big Ball

There is something special about the ball drop in NYC. I've never been up there and doubt I'll ever go but watching it from afar on TV is still exciting.

This year promises to be like none other with the introduction of a brand new ball to mark the 100th anniversary of the New Year's Eve Ball.

From Inhabitat...
This New Year’s Eve Times Square in New York is set to debut a dazzling new LED-encrusted New Year’s ball! Composed of 32,256 Philips Luxeon Rebel LEDs, the 12-foot wide energy-efficient orb weighs in at 11,875 pounds, making it twice the size of any ball previously dropped overhead in Time Square.

A marriage of tradition and new technology, the stunning new sphere will be ringing in the 100th anniversary of the New Year’s Eve ball.
