Awesome Christmas Light Display Set to Music
Possibly the coolest Christmas light display of all time, by Carson Williams of Mason, Ohio.
I was as skeptical as you will surely be, but Snopes.com has confirmed that it is real, not a computer-assisted animation.
According to Snopes:
This display was the work of Carson Williams of Mason, Ohio, who spent about three hours sequencing the 88 Light-O-Rama channels that control the 16,000 Christmas lights in his 2004 holiday lighting spectacular. The musical accompaniment is broadcast over a low-power radio station so that it is only audible to visitors tuned in to the correct frquency and doesn’t disturb the neighbors.
Apparently, the whole thing is done using something called Light-o-Rama. (UPDATE: I just realized I had already said that through the above block-quote. D’uh.) You can re-create Carson’s display yourself using instructions from Carson himself.
Another of Carson’s displays is here.

Hat tip to my niece, mother, and father.

I would be really scared to have that guy as a neighbor. He has a little too much time on his hands!
