« on: December 01, 2005, 09:14:11 AM »

If there are any musicaly inclined electrical engineers out there, I can see a real market for prefab kits of this.

Holy cow. Pretty neat. And I felt pretty good about just getting the candles in the windows.

I had heard rumors that the lights may have been a fake, but here is an article giving some details.

http://www.snopes.com/photos/arts/xmaslights.asp

I am enclined to believe this as snopes.com is a very reliable "mythbuster" site.

One thing I found really cool, is that it indicated that the music is broadcast on a low FM radio frequency, so sight seers can listen in and the neighbors aren't disturbed.

I'm tellin' ya, I see $$$ for some entrepreneur!  I wish I knew how to make it simple!

Can you believe this made the "Today Show"?   :o  I'm thinking about doing this with the lighting on my SEUC- maybe then I'll be able to see the road at night.  [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

WhatdidIsay?  What did I say!?

This house has 4 songs, including the same song (Wizards In Winter).  The lighting is better, but the action and synchronization are not as good.

But still, if you build it, they will buy it!  Damn I wish I was smarteder.
