More Macy's Info
One of the great things about this blog (which is just over a year old) has been when people write in after seeing something I've written. Larry Kerecman of Control Dimensions is one of those people--he wrote in after a friend told him about my entry on the Macy's holiday light show in Philly. It turns out that Mr. Kerecman had been in charge of the control systems on the show, and he wrote some great and detailed info on the history of the system, its current state, and its future. Rather than summarizing what he wrote, I just put up the the whole thing as a followup to the original post (so that anyone who finds the entry via a search also finds the additional info). You can read it here.
Mr. Kerecman is working on a very cool project now, and I talked to him about it when I was in Denver. I'll write it up shortly...
