This thing has become like spam, here are "facts" what I sent to my 
relatives who ALL sent it to me claiming it was their house.

This is definitely not a hoax. This guy lives about 3 miles from where I
work. We were up near there at lunch today so decided to stop by and
check it out. He had taken the day off of work and was out front working
on his holiday setup for this year. They guy was way cool and even took
us into his garage to see all the software and hardware that runs the
show. One of my co-workers lives in the same neighborhood and is going
to spend some more time over there to learn about getting started on a
smaller scale. And believe it or not, he does the whole show with a 40
amp service.

Final cool thing is that the Trans-Siberian Orchestra called him
yesterday and offered him free tickets to their next show in Cincinnati
with backstage passes and everything. How's that for quick fame?

Responding to #46: That's the guy and you can find his address easily if
you do a bit of detective work (took me 10 seconds). He was a bit
distraught that his old address and his correct phone number were posted
on the internet.

Correction: His is no longer using Light-O-Rama controllers though he
was in that particular video. He still uses their software, but the
solid state relay boards are custom pieces done for him by his
electrical engineer brother-in-law. Each board will handle 96 circuits
and offers ramped dimming effects that the original L-O-R boards did
not. He broadcasts on FM 96.9 using a cheapy FM PCI card with a wire
antenna hanging out of the back of the PC. I wish I had had my camera
along last week so you could see how this thing's wired. The effect is
very, very cool but his "behind the scenes" stuff is a bit chaotic. :-)
