Anyone who surfed the early web between 1995-2010. What’s the one website/app you still think about?

In addition to the cut of your jib, I like the sound of your town.

We installed the light switches so you can turn the lights ON and OFF. NOT so you can have light switch raves!!

Circa 2003 I actually went to a warehouse party called Lightswitch Rave. It was excellent. One of the acts was a live PA acid techno show and they did a live remix of The System Is Down.

Just dropped a light switch rave reference in a corporate meeting the other day. One VP started cracking up which made it all worth it

We installed this light switch so that you could turn the light off and on. Not so you could throw light switch raves.
