hausdok Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Hi Guys, Saw a short evening magazine type program the other night that had this on. Took a while to find it. Someone sure has a whole lot of time on his/her hands. I can't imagine that he's running this thing on a continuous loop or the neighbors would be complaining about the noise and ready to throttle him/her. I envisioned a laid-off computer programmer sitting around the house with nothing to do and a severence check that had been eating a hole in his pocket that he blew on this. It had to have taken weeks to program all of that, string those lights and then hook them all up to whatever is controlling that - not to mention what it must have cost. Maybe he's the same guy that programmed the water/light show at the Bellachio in Vegas! ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian G Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 WOW!!! Awesome creativity and effort! Would I want to be next door? Nope. I'd like to see it in person though, and I know my 7 year old would love it. Brian G.

Les Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 This year we only have a twig, but wait till next year - we are going to get my neighbor's Blue Spruce that is hanging over my driveway entrance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlskfoster Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 WOW!!! That was awesome! I think I had a siezure and wet my pants during the middle of it so I better not run it again. WOW!!! Buster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottpat Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 I think it is in the Chicago area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 I first played it on my laptop, then my desk top at office and then on my son's gaming computer at home with the sound blaster. What a difference! He cleaned it up a little, I don't know how, and it is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian G Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 I saw that house & light show on a Miller Lite commercial today. It was a lot clearer though. Dude got paid for his efforts. I predict this will be the start of whole new fad for the really bored and/or showoffs. Brian G. Not That Bored [:-yawn] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted January 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Hi Brian, As it turns out, this was not the start of something but just another episode in something that's been going on for a long, long time. I did a web search on christmas lighting and you'd be amazed at the volume of stuff out there on the topic. A couple of examples are this site, which basically is a display light critic's site and then there's this one which has photos of lots and lots of homes - all trying to outdo the other. Jeesh! Well, guess everyone has to have a hobby. OT - OF!!! M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian G Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Pretty way the hell out there stuff, but I didn't see anything timed to music like the one in Chicago. Needless to say I didn't look at all of that stuff either, so there could be one or two in there somewhere. Brian G.
