Killer. I wish we were neighbors, Ethan. We'd be able to throw the most
awesome block parties, I swear. I bet you are a musician, too.
Everything is from China and solid state now. There is
a laser
"con/fest" of sorts and a small bit of vintage computing cross-over.
Huh, cool! That sounds (and from the videos also looks) fun.
Like any technology I suppose it grew up along side of
personal
computing.

Neat. What fun!
Okay, after talking about the recent roots of that hobby, and in an effort
to keep this slightly on topic, do you know anything about the original
animations used on Freemont street in Las Vegas? I was told that at one
time it was run from an Amiga using Scala "and some other stuff". If you
haven't seen it, it's a giant (uhm, like 4 city blocks) color LED array
and a big sound system.
