Loving Open-Souce One Anonymous Function at a Time.

Thoughts on the iPad and Home Automation

I love my iPad and it continues to make me smile when I use it. I like it more than my iPhone (if I didn't need to program, I would say more than my macbook).

Since crestron has released a mobile app for it, I have been working on finding how it fits into the home automation landscape. I don't want to endless speculate on it fixing all the world's problems, or how it will be cause the end of other touchscreens. But I will say, that seeing what other designers have been able to create with it leads me to believe that my work is terrible.

I plan to update this blog with screenshots and examples. Hopefully I'll get better along the way
