LMAO - how do you wire your light into your computer??
ANd isn't that risky when windows crashes and you can no longer turn your lights on?

are you sure it's bright to have a situation that requires you to open windows to shed light on a situation? I hear that for years now, IBM's been rueing their decision to put themselves in this very position.

Are you using X10? I'm using that so I can turn my lights on or off from my bed. Next Page

I seem to recall that at MIT a few years ago they created a giant Tetris game using christmas lights in the windows of a dorm.  If you can find that site, they discribe all the equipment used.  

Recently there was a story out of Germany about doing a similar thing with WAP, but don't recall that they discribed the infrastructure.

Happy hunting,
