Grrrr, I can’t stand 2 hour delays during my drive!

Many times I am apathetic about working for the man, but sometimes the trip alone is all that’s needed to convince me to move far away. One in three are poor sheeple and barely any attention to driving. Adding to this, I then knocked over the stupid coffee driving in to the parking lot...
Another day another dollar.

Chatting with Joe made me think …

Last night was a wicked place on that show after Lost which seriously made me stare – The house had Zigbee and performed a decent job making it all work. Close to every ceiling fan was thinking on its own and even things like the gate and hot tub were talking to each other.
I’ve been a fan of Insteon for years but seeing systems like this, it was crazy and I’m still in shock.
I often day dream of having our home do fancy tasks along the lines of announcing caller ID anywhere in the house or displaying the news in the bathroom mirror. Although these situations are still pretty far in the future (although some houses have done it) however more practical items such as lighting at the touch of a button are well within reach and inexpensive this year. When I get home I will win over my financial advisor... at which point she can focus her energy on the place that helped me learn about this stuff: ISY-99i

Some days, I don’t like stop and go traffic due to poor driving!

Many times I take satisfaction in my workplace, but some days the traffic coming in is reason enough to force me to quit. Some people are such poor sheeple with secondary concerns of concentration to the roadway. Making things worse, I then tipped the drink in my car making my way in to the lot...

Transitioning from home automation to home movie rooms shouldn’t be that much of a change taking into account lots of users (including me) probably began their journey for lighting using a remote control to make the entire movie room experience complete. In my mind the computer programmed remote controls have been a favorite item and we bought one for all of our tv watching areas. Considering we almost never do the live programming style of watching at all, it felt like there was frequently a bunch of devices to turn on which took so much time picking up one remote control then the next until things were setup, just to reverse the procedure after the show was over and done with.
Speaking of remotes, the incorporation of items from Zwave and home theatres is becoming nearer every week with almost all respected producers offering UHF control from any home system as of late and because of this anyone with an interest can do actions we couldn’t do before like networking a tuner that’s on a different floor of the apartment utilizing one’s wireless Zwave controls. Can you tell I’m excited? It’s neat, although it is elaborated on in more detail here Zwave vs Insteon than some blogs so it’s for sure a key destination to read through.
It’s great – the writer is way too enthusiastic about home automation.
My talk with Bill got me planning …

Last night was this mansion on holmes on homes which seriously caused me to beg my wife – The house had Zigbee and performed a really fantastic job making it all work. Close to every light and fan knew what the rest of the house was doing and get this- the litter boxes plus the heated floors were controlled by the house.
I’ve used basic home automation for ages but I hadn’t even dreamed about a system of this caliber, it was crazy and I want everything I saw now.
I always talk about making the house do cool things along the lines of announcing caller ID anywhere in the house or announcing the weather for the day in the morning. maybe some stuff is a ways from now (although some average people are in the process of it) still more realistic things like atmosphere settings at the touch of a button are well within reach and reasonably priced today. One more thing to do: plead my case to my financial advisor... after which she can hold responsible the site where I found the information: Insteon iPhone
