Alek Komarnitsky gained fame a few years ago with his website that allowed surfers to control his Christmas lights. Turns out that was a hoax. He had plenty of Christmas lights, they just weren’t controllable from your terminal. The full confession came out after Christmas 2004. But Alex took his internet fame and did something with it. The 2005 Christmas lights really were controllable via the web! And the project has raised over $14,000 so far for Celiac disease research through the University of Maryland. Alek contacted me yesterday to let me know he’s got three webcams up and ready at his house for this year’s Controllable Christmas Lights for Celiac Disease. Link
