That guy in the neighborhood who has way too many Christmas lights

Weekend America profiles Dominic Luberto, that guy with his house so covered in Christmas lights that you’re sure it’s a fire hazard or something.

I like how he pulls out the classic argument stopper when challenged that his display is too much. “Whoever comes against me – listen – goes against the kids.” There you go. In the United States, all you have to do is accuse your opponent of hating children and you have instantly won the argument.

Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
