A couple of weeks ago, before the ice storm, I went to see Bassboy's display one mile from my house. It was COOL!!! Last year he had 40 relays, this year I had programmed ten 18F4525 chips (384 channels worth) for him.

He is a junior at Bixby High School this year and built and paid for the display himself. I was waiting on my replacement video camera to come in the mail so I could make and post his display video. It came a couple of days too late.

Some of the damage he took can be seen here:Death of the Christmas Lights (http://hs.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2008624&l=28c58&id=1193520446)

He had this little tree that was absolutely loaded with red and green lights. It was very COOL and looked great!! Instead of posting his video I am posting this picture of what is left of his tree. So sad. :cry:

The "clumps" on the ground are sections of the tree that are wrapped with lights. I assume he cut them out to save the lights.

I went to see him yesterday and made a donation to the rebuild effort. He and a friend were working hard to get it going again. I hope to post a video soon.
