Welcome to Tech Stuff, a production from IHeart Radio.

Hey there and welcome to Tech Stuff.

I'm your host, Jonathan Strickland.

I'm an executive producer with IHeart Podcasts.

And how the tech are you?

It's the holiday season. That's all I'm

allowed to sing by law. But in my neck of the woods, that means an awful lot of my neighbors

have gone over the top with various holiday displays. Now, predominantly, the holiday celebrated

in my neck of the woods is Christmas. And for simplicity

sake, I'll be talking a lot about Christmas lights in this episode. But keep in mind that,

you know, obviously people do light shows for all sorts of different holidays. But just

for simplicity sake, I'm going to say Christmas lights, because that's what the hobby is

largely centered around. And today, I'm going to say Christmas lights, because that's what the hobby is largely centered around.

And today, I really wanted to talk about how people who create those really spectacular light displays,

the kind that often are coordinated with music, how they pull that off.

And it takes an awful lot of technology.

More than that, this technology evolves at an incredible pace.

The way that people can do this now is far more sophisticated than what was done even, you know,

just a couple of years ago. So the other thing to keep in mind is if you're listening to this

episode after 2024,

there's going to be some dated stuff in here.

That's kind of how tech works.
