Is this cool?

So, everyone knows that I have several lights in the house that are controlled by remote, because I've written about it before. We try to get in the habit of turning on the bathroom and bedroom light for Linda before she goes to bed, just so she doesn't have to walk in the dark. But we forget.

She almost always checks her email before she gets ready for bed. So the solution? If it is after 9pm when Linda closes the lid of her laptop, the laptop tells the lights to turn on. She can't forget.
