Project Jarvis

"Okay, there's no HUD display like Tony Stark had and it isn't voiced by Paul Bettany, but former Apple Store employee Chad Barraford has created Project Jarvis, a digital assistant that greets him, Tweets for him, and can even tell his family when he has a headache and dim the lights of his apartment before he reaches home."

I enjoy reading about things like this, finding out just what people can do with an idea and some technological know-how. Pretty interesting project so far, and all he needed (besides some accessories) was a 4 year old Mac Mini and Apple Script. You can read the Boston Globe story here as well as see video of it in action.
