Voice-controlled Home Automation, Road Trip,

Voice-controlled Home Automation - This is the epitome of remote control!


Road Trip - I am planning a road trip this weekend. Stories in the news indicate that road rage is an ever-increasing problem. I decided that it would be best to be prepared. I AM!

Emotionsense - A strange new application has turned up for Android users that wants to turn your mobile phone into a therapist. The application is called Emotionsense and it’s designed to monitor your text messages, calls, sounds, and your location to predict your mood. The goal of the application is to reveal when you’re at your most stressed or happiest.

This application has the potential to literally help you find your happy place. The app is available free of charge and was developed by the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory. The information the application collects is monitored invisibly. Information is gathered from the smartphone’s GPS system, accelerometer, and microphone. The app is able to develop a pattern of habits for the phone owner as they go about their day.

Friday Thoughts

Friday Thoughts - Weatherpeople forecast today to be dry, warm, and sunny. They also predict a continuance of the wind that plagued us yesterday—with expectations that the wind will reach 40 MPH and above. Wind serves no useful purpose—at least none of which I am aware.

Pop-ups are controlled nicely by settings in Chrome. I generally use only Chrome as my Web browser (on all Windows and Android devices) and Google as my search engine. Both are produced by Google, and I find them to work well together.


This is an amazing story: Pilot Impersonator Reaches Cockpit
