-### Smart Home
-
-One of the most exciting aspects of home ownership to me
-is that I'll finally be able to go full smart home.
-
-A programmable thermostat is at the top of my todo list,
-for energy efficiency, but mostly habit enforcement.
-I can not sleep without blankets, and I can not sleep hot.
-Turning on the lights as an alarm is usually effective,
-but when it's cold I find it hard not cover my face and go back to sleep.
-
-In general the ability to make one's house unfit for relaxation
-at certain hours of the week is very powerful.
-
-Google's Nest is the stereotypical smart thermostat,
-but devices using a local, non-Wi-Fi protocol
-like [Zigbee](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zigbee)
-or [Z-Wave](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-Wave)
-ought to be preferred.

-### Ulysses Pacts
-
-The most challenging part of implementing Ulysses pacts with yourself
-is that sometimes you really _do_ need to jump in after the sirens, %% that's a stretch %%
-but if you allow yourself an out for emergencies
-you will almost certainly use it inappropriately in a moment of weakness.
-I know I will, anyway.
-Rarely can my fear of disappointing myself
-overwhelm the immediate appeal of whatever I'm keeping from myself.
