A smattering of opinions on technology, books, business, and culture. Now in its 4th technology iteration.

Lots of discussion in the MoM group about using Christmas lighting and control gear for Halloween. Lots of good pointers – Light-o-rama control software, Dasher at the Christmas Cave, Animated Lighting for all kinds of controllers and props, a simple two-outlet fade controller. Now controlling Christmas lights is actually a bit different than Halloween – Christmas lighting is not intended to surprise, so much of the software and gear doesn’t pay attention to latency, and doesn’t have all the input/control options. But some useful stuff here anyway.
