Argh, I despise stop and go traffic during my drive!

There are weeks I don’t mind work, but there are times when the traffic alone is sufficient to drive me to quit. One in three are lousy sheeple and not enough thoughts to the road. Adding to this, what happens next? I tipped my Timmies coming in to the lot...
Another day in paradise.
Something got me thinking

We watched a killer house on extreme home makeover which seriously made me want to copy it – Everywhere they had installed motorized drapes and performed a decent job making it all work. Each overhead light had a remote control and things like the litter boxes plus the pool were controlled by the house.
We’ve used basic home automation for a while now but we’d not attempted something like this, it was wicked and I’m still in shock.
I’ve thought about making the house do neat stuff along the lines of turning on the shower in the morning or announcing the weather for the day in the morning. Many things are still several years in terms of general accessibility (despite the fact that some people in the forums are doing it) however more realistic things for example music which respond to your moods are well within reach and reasonably priced recently. This week I’m going to sway the lady writing the cheques...... at which point she can focus her energy on the site that got me interested: ISY-99
