light switch turned on by itself (or unseen person)



last night while my wife and i were lying in bed, talking, around midnight, i don't know the time exactly, we heard the big flat plastic light switch in the hall outside our bedroom click on (pushes up to turn on) and the light turned on. immediately i thought it was one of our kids, but i had not heard a sound of anybody walking up the wood stairs. i got up to see who it was and the bathroom door was a little ajar. i opened it and nobody was there. i went downstairs and all the kids were asleep in their beds =)
someone turned that light on and it wasn't any of us.

dropbox

a friend recommended dropbox to me the other day so i signed up to check it out.

hey dropbox, did you also notice that you offer 2GB disk space? when you offer 5TB, then i'll lift a finger.
