A new light over the dinning room table.
And a few weeks ago, I got a Wink. It's like a router, that connects a bunch of stuff around the house.
Like I bought a dimmer switch, and replaced an old one to control some flood lights. Now, I can control those lights from my cell phone, we can make it look like we're home when we're not.
Then this weekend, I put in a little add on for our garage door. Now I can open and close it and monitor when it's open or closed all from my phone. I have a bit of OCD and have turned around countless times to drive by to make sure I closed it.
And it can control my thermostat.
Now we're going to get more switches, to control more lights. Like porch lights. We can set them on timers, set them to come on when we come home, all kinds of little tricks.

Jim would be at work and just to fuck with me he'd turn all the lights off and put the air conditioning on.

I'm friends with this chick on Facebook who I used to hang out with when we were in school together.  She's nuts. I'm not even joking.. certifiably insane.  Yesterday, she posted on FB that she figure out that her breast implants were causing her pain, so SHE CUT THEM OUT.  This nutjob numbed herself and cut out her own breast implants. WTF

I would do that, but, I'd get my ass kicked.
Haha

We also got one of those Amazon Echo's, and we can just tell it to do everything now.
