How has your profession (or hobby) leaked into your everyday life? What
customizations or applications have you put electronics to that makes your
life easier and/or more fun?


I have installed two Radio Shack motion detector light systems, one
over the garage door and one to replace the front entry light.



I have a motion sensor controlled light in my driveway, another by
the back door and one in the hallway, so I don't fall while looking for
a light switch at night. Being half awake while leaning on a cane in
the dark, is dangerous.
