next door’s xmas tree.

via webcam and other techy stuff, including a very long pointy stick for sweeping back their curtains, digitally capture the neighbour’s expensive & ostentatious festive tree from several angles, turn it into a hologram and enlarge it x 10, then project it onto a space in front of the window that shines straight back at the neighbour’s house.

it doesn’t really matter if the image is fuzzy just as long as you backlight it with bright sparkly blinkin’ lights and fabulous looking presents at the base…

       We fish you a merry biscuit, we fish you a merry biscuit, we fish you a merry biscuit, and a happy idea.

       Never too early for that, po! Same to you and yours!   

       But how do you get the long pointy stick through the glass window to sweep back the curtains?

       they leave their window open a bit...

       Oh... but what if they don't?   

       (btw, that's not my bone)   

       I like the idea, so +, but is the technology available, and is there a way that doesn't require your neighbor's cooperation?

       does this "techy stuff" include a black pyjama suit, glass cutters, and some tranquiliser-laced steak for their inquisitive dog? I think that's the best way to get a *really* realistic hologram.   

       ..oh, I found this bun for you. ..Fell off a truck.

       can I tell you a secret? I love a sneaky bone!

       The stick could have a magnet at the end of it. Hopefully the curtains are hung with metal loops or hooks or whatever one hangs curtains with.
