Mark VI Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 I posted that before and it's fantastic. He's a software eng. in Masillon, Ohio. Runs all his lights into a server, with the program loaded up on a laptop in his garage. Has about 15 songs. A local FM station carries the music, so people can pull up in their cars and watch the show. My late great parents had a place down in Coral Springs, Florida. About 2 blocks away, around the intersection of University and Sample, some rich guy turned his house into an amazing display. Hundreds of thousands of lights. I counted 128 moving figurines up his sidewalk. His 2 car garage was the greatest model train village I ever saw. Lights all over the house, roof, front lawn. People would pack the place and no one minded. Had a charity jar for poor kids. I wonder if that's still there ? Last time I saw it was 1999.

That is awesome though. I was wondering how they put it together. I would love to see it do a bunch more songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, a sharp cookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
