I want to know what equipment you need for timing your lights like that. I've no ambition to go *quite* that nuts, but I'd love to set up a nicely timed show.

Oh lord. Can you imagine (if that *is* real) trying to live in that house? Or worse, nextdoor?

I imagine it is only at "showtime", otherwise it would be outrageous....providing it is for real, that is.... Posts: 15082 | Registered: Jul 2001

I have no doubt that a clever electronics guru could do anything with enough work and christmas lights Posts: 3003 | Registered: Oct 2004

My 19 month old daughter was in my lap when I watched this, and she couldn't have cared less about the lights, but she got obsessed with the animated monkey in the ad on the right. It was pretty cute, hearing her say 'monkey, monkey!' over and over. The interesting thing is she only has one stuffed monkey and hasn't seen any cartoon ones before, yet she knew what it was right away. Kids can be amazing sometimes.

Best ever? What about this one? (If you look around that site, you can find photos of me and suneun/dabbler playing and/or wiring the thing up.)

I'm jealous. I posted this a couple days ago, but it was hosted by a website that was lacking bandwith.

The Carson Williams light show is over. The traffic got too bad, and a fender-bender occurred. Official vehicles couldn't easily reach the accident because of the traffic. Posts: 2034 | Registered: Apr 2004

Apparently it became worse after news spread on the Internet and the family was on the "Today" show.

Off-topic: Why have people started using "linky" for the name of a link? All it reminds me of is the ghosts from Pac-Man: Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and, well, not Clyde/Sue, but ...

Maybe they could schedule a time every day do to it, and then the neighbors would have forwarning of when traffic will be backed up?

The problem is, Lyrhawn, The traffic is so bad that police and fire/rescue couldn't get in to that area of the town, so if there were a fire, they couldn't get in to help.

Yeah, but perhaps if there were a designated time, they could coordinate traffic. Maybe if neighbors were okay with it they could block off that block for a specified time period and ensure that a lane was cleared and threaten to shut it down if people don't comply.
That would allow emergency services to get in at will.

I was suggesting a much shorter time. Or maybe ONE single run through of the show twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. That way they clear out fast.
