Christmas Lights and Google Maps

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the on-a-lighter-note dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "SantaStars.com uses the Google Maps API to show the locations of some great Christmas light displays. Everyone is encouraged to post a picture of their Christmas lights and you can vote for your favorites. Some of the houses are quite elaborate like this house in British Columbia that has 87,625 computer controlled lights synchronized to an FM radio station."

    Except this is in Richmond, BC.

    Which gets its electric power from BC Hydro.

    Which, it may interest you to know, does not burn oil to generate electricity.

    No fossil fuel is being wasted here.
