Anyone seen the video with the whole house and garden computer controlled christmas lights? They pulsate to the music like discolights.

That's far worse than that house.

Here's one example: http://media.putfile.com/Wizards-of-Winter-Christmas-Lights

You boys just wait until next year when there's more time and money.
Sorry the pic was a little blurry but when you're using a P.O.S. you can't help it.

Where do you store all that crap!! :O
All my lights and decorations fit into 3 of those large plastic containers. each one is just small enough to fit through my attic opening. I have a good sized attic but, i got other stuff to store up there as well. Not to mention the cost of buying all that stuff and then the electric bill  :cry. unless they have a genny running it all :noid
Crap now I gotta redo my cool sig.....crap!!! I cant remeber how to do it all !!!!!

We had a neighbor that use to use over 300,000 white lights, first time he turned the lights on he blew out the transformer for the block. Next day he had them installing one just for his house and putting more outlets through out the yard. You can't go 10 feet without finding an outlet on that house and there is one at every tree in the yard. the next year we didn't even put out lights, just a chezzy flashing sign that pointed at their house.

Tsk, where is the holiday spirit?  Star of wonder and all that.  Not nearly as obnoxious as the Red Hat Society, and that's all year long.

Yeah mom. No doubt they time code the music like we do with video. From there all you have to do is match the light sequence to the music. You really dont have to either listen to the music or look at the lights to do it. I would like to get a look at the digital sequence software used for this particular piece. No doubt what happens is that each frame of audio is time coded and specific lights are assigned, on or off, to each frame of time code. It looks far to accurate to have been sequenced by ear alone.
