i can't decide if this lighting control stuff is actually interesting/useful or just dumb gadgetry. being able to dim all lights around the apt in one swoop and to control stuff from the machine that runs itunes seems maybe interesting. or maybe overly complicated. theoretical useful concept: small lights tucked in out of the way places (bookshelf, above closet/behind curtains) that can't easily be connected to a dimmer/wallswitch but could be controlled with one of these devices. hm. not that i've actually bought anything yet.
