Here’s a great set of Christmas lights flashing synchronized to Wizard in Winter by Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO) from their The Lost Christmas Eve album.  The display is provided by Carson Williams from Mason, Ohio who decorated his house with this sophisticated spectacular each Christmas until last year when traffic congestion became too much of a problem for his neighborhood and it was discontinued.  Williams broadcast the audio over FM frequency so cars could listen without him having to blast music and upset the neighbors.  You can also check out this great video clip of his display performing Jingle Bells.

Sports Temples of Boston is a section within the Boston Public Library’s amazing web site.  It includes a brief history of each of the sites that comprise the history of sports within Boston and a detail list of available photographs.  There are over 440 images of Fenway Park, nearly 300 of the Boston Garden, and hundreds of others from the past and present.  A large portion of the collection includes sites that no longer exist and would seem out of place in modern Boston, like the Charles River Speedway and the Cyclorama on Tremont Street.  It’s an interesting look at Boston sports history through photography.

In the past I’ve talked about some good digital photography sites like Picture-history.com.  Here’s another great source of digital photographs, the New York Public Library’s Digital Gallery.  The gallery offers a wide assortment including scanned images of photographs, drawings, manuscripts, maps, and rare illustrated books.  Particularly interesting is the American Revolution Section.
