White cord doesn't show up against white walls KM> so not much of a problem, but yes you can magic marker them if KM> you're desperate. And it's just a standard 5v jack and should KM> work with any cord that fits. As for the hanging aspect, I was more concerned with the moon falling because of movement caused by breezes. Can of course use a standard USB 2 extension cable to extend the power. The physical hanging: a white cup hook. Loop or wind the power cable around to keep the desire height. Seems like a better way (I'm not a big fan of kinking cables) but that's what comes to mind. Really want to get artsy integrate the moon with a wind chime! > KM> It's sensitive to noise and bumps and will randomly change when > KM> it thinks it should... > Mine won't change unless tap the button.
