Clark Griswold writes "After the recent /. discussion on the Ultimate Geek Christmas Card, how about the Ultimate Geek Christmas Lights Display?

One annual contender is the Controllable Christmas Lights for Celiac Disease which has three live webcams and X-10 technology that allows web surfers a live view of over 20,000 christmas lights AND the ability to control them — "heck, you can even inflate (or deflate) the giant Elmo, Frosty, Santa, and Homer Simpson — D'OH!" The website is powered by Linux and while the design is vintage 1995 Geocities, it does W3C validate.

What other over-the-top nerdy displays should /. geeks (and Santa) check out this Christmas?"

Hulkster writes "The Controllable Halloween Decorations Webcams for Celiac Disease are back again with three live webcams and X10 powerline technology that not only allow you you to view the 7,500+ Halloween lights, but also (in real-time) turn them on & off, plus inflate/deflate the giant Pumpkins, Skull, Frankenstein, and Homer Simpson — D'OH!

It's a high-tech "Trick-or-Treat" for a good cause as over $35,000 has been raised for Celiac Disease Research"

And since it is an election year, when web surfers toggle certain zones of lights they "cast a vote" for Obama, McCain ... or the Hulk. There's a daily tally and with a week to go, it's pretty darn close with Obama at 15,489 votes, Hulk at 15,481, and McCain at 15,480. This is despite some electronic ballot stuffing where rabid supporters (who's votes have been invalidated) have click-bomb'ed the light controls.

So if you want to support the Green Party Candidate, then vote early and vote often for Hulk for President.

I'm the Hulkster and I approve this Puny Human message."
