Christmas, nerd style: Play with 22,000 remotely controlled lights, watch the results in real-time
2013-12-24 16:36:14| Extremetech
What do you get if you combine Christmas, jury-rigged electronics, 22,000 lights, over a dozen inflatables, webcams, and custom server software running on a Linux server? Alek Komarnitsky's controllable Christmas lights, of course! Every year, Alek -- who is one of the world wide web's most infamous OGs -- lights up his house with 22,000 lights and over a dozen inflatables, and then lets strangers on the internet control them all via a gaudy website. Why? To raise money for research into celiac disease, which his kids were diagnosed with a few years ago.
