Alaskan family lets anyone on internet control their Christmas lights
An Alaska family has bravely turned over control of their Christmas lights to people on the Internet, who with the click of a button, are able to turn areas on and off at all hours of the day and night.
For the sixth year in a row, Ken Woods, an information technology employee in Fairbanks, has nailed a live camera to a tree outside his home. He has then rigged a dozen different controls, allowing anyone who visits his website to turn a certain area of his lights on or off at all hours of the day.
“The very first year we did it, we did one string of lights on the tree,” Woods told ABC News. “It was cool, but then we added a Web camera pointing at the tree and then [the reaction] blew up. A week into it, my wife turned to me and said, ‘Next year, these are going outside.’ It was super annoying in the middle of the night.”
