Tracey’s Digital Trash Can!

Normally a blinking LED wouldn’t make much difference, but this one was embedded in the lid of her trash can!

I stopped by Tracey’s condo Tuesday on my way into New Haven. She’d asked me to repair a laptop owned by her cousin. One new hard drive later, voila!

On my way out I walked by the kitchen. That’s when I noticed the brief blink of an LED.

“What’s that?” I asked.

Normally a blinking LED wouldn’t make much difference, but this one was embedded in the lid of her trash can!

Call me crazy, but I’ve never seen a trash can that opens if you wave your hand over it… until now. We live in remarkable times.
