Alek’s Controllable Halloween Decorations for Celiac Disease

October 15th, 2008

Once again, three live webcams and X10 powerline control technology
allows web surfers to not only view the action, but also *control* it.
Heck, you can even inflate/deflate the giant Frankenstein, Pumpkins,
Grim Reapers, Skull, SpongeBob SquarePants, and Homer Simpson – D’OH!

And since it is an election year, toggling each zone of thousands
of lights will “cast a vote” for Obama, McCain … or THE HULK.
The Big Green Guy won in 2004, despite a Kerry-Bot that tried
to electronically stuff the ballot, and there’s already been an
Obama-Bot that cast 1,000+ votes – guess the Dems really want to win.

On a more serious note, this is the fourth year that I’m
working with the University of Maryland Center for Celiac Research
to raise awareness & funds – http://www.celiaccenter.org/news_xmas.asp
My two sons have this condition, so it’s personal for me.

The website continues to be completely free and totally fun,
especially for kids. If folks are so inclined, you can make an
optional donation directly to the Center for Celiac Research.
Over $25,000 has been raised with holiday lights – go figure!
So surf on by, tell your friends, blog about it, spread the word, etc.

And this is just the warmup for Christmas – HO, HO, HO …
