Tote your Thinkpad and port your Apple in style with our custom TRON-inspired laptop bag tutorial. With a little soldering and sewing skills you can have your own light up satchel, sure to impress geeky friends. So grab your sewing needle and soldering iron and follow along.
This project is a collaboration between ladyada and Becky Stern.
There's a getting started pack at the adafruit shop with some EL wire, inverter and connector and other small bits you need. Read more about soldering to EL wire and designing and finishing your Tron bag.

Electronics are addictive but they 'aint crack. Put that lighter away and buy a heat gun for your heat shrink tubing.
