I take a nightlight from IKEA and change its function to put my computer to sleep. One tap of the nightlight turns on the light and puts my computer to sleep… a sortof alternate presence. Another tap does the reverse. The rechargeable batteries inside the nightlight can be charged by the USB connection to the Mac. It is a very simple hack of an everyday object for the purpose of simplifying the sleep/wake procedure with a computer. Laboratory | T E D U L L R I C H
