We spent a lot of time traveling these past holidays and the homes and yards were decorated wonderfully. A lot of work must have gone into these displays and I imagined that it was dispiriting to have to take it all down, afterwards. An added feature in home designs could have permanent track lighting embedded, in your home's siding, in the pattern of your choice, that would have circuits that could display each holiday's colors. Birthdays and anniversaries could even be added.-- outloud, Jan 03 2010 How 'bout being able to flash messages to passerby?-- DrWorm, Jan 03 2010 Ya mean like "Hidden patrol car in ally, two blocks ahead?"
Or, "My kid is on the honor roll at the local correctional facility."-- outloud, Jan 03 2010 I had a similar idea, but mine involved projectors.-- phoenix, Jan 03 2010 I had a similar idea, but mine involved thermite.-- MaxwellBuchanan, Jan 03 2010 mine involved virulent contagious diseases.
