Watch an Astonishing Computerized Christmas Light Show

I know you're not working. I'm certainly not. So how about watching a trippy video of a computer choreographed Christmas light display. And no, it's not a CGI-generated video.

Behind the Scenes
The lights are controlled by products available at Light-o-Rama. The music's by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

If you're hot on this craze, you can watch other videos and pick up info at the Wonderland Christmas site. I'm not done (and neither are they). Here are more videos, how-to details, and the Worldwide Christmas Lightfinder.

Thanks to Shawn B. for help with the details.

Well, I am not working, but still physically at the office. The bloody computer department has blocked the viewing of wmv-files on the internet, so no Christmas light show for me...

Keep up the good work with your blogs, Steve. They are always fun to read. Merry Christmas!

Wow, only a month or so before this was first posted on Engadget.com. This is such old news, Miller Lite has a TV commercial featuring this.
