Let’s Advertise Like It’s 2001

A new X10.com-branded X10-speaking appliance module has been installed along with my old receiver for switching the light behind my iMac. It’s now much nicer, as I can turn the light on and off without reaching behind or under the desk. Now I just need to wait for Monoprice to get a stock of the short USB cables so I can order them along with a bunch of other stuff to finish the office wiring.

Yes, this is the infamous X10 Wireless Technologies with the terrible popup/popunder banner ads that came to embody the irritation of online advertising. Thankfully I was able to find the devices on eBay from Big John’s Place out of northern Illinois.
