Voice Activated Holiday Lights

"Holiday" meaning "Christmas", as the post says. These lights are so awesome for so many reasons, but mostly because you can play music (or speak) and the lights will synch up with the noise. "Why holiday lights already?" Because, dear readers, as of August 1st, 33% of Americans have started their holiday shopping! For some (not naming names, Ksitri Koekrnuian), that seems completely insane (my report card certainly never said 'tendency to procrastinate' or anything...). Check out the schematics and you could be done by the time Hannukah rolls around - and if you're anything like me - you can start shopping the day before Christmas. 

23 days until the contest is over!
