Two blinking lights controlled by one POT
/*
* AnalogInput
* by DojoDave <http://www.0j0.org>
*
* Turns on and off a light emitting diode(LED) connected to digital
* pin 13. The amount of time the LED will be on and off depends on
* the value obtained by analogRead(). In the easiest case we connect
* a potentiometer to analog pin 2.

* Simple Modification to run TWO, yes TWO blinking LEDs

Two POTs, one controls brightness, the other blinking
