Go Go Internet Braintrust

On the long drive home Monday, I had plenty of time to think. I happened to come up with a very interesting idea for an extension to the PhraseServer element of my media infrastructure.

The question I pose to you is: What kind of things would you want to do using the voice interface for a smarthome? Ask when the next bus is, set the thermostat, what? Specifically, I'm trying to get a feel for what kind of content it would be conveying, and what the range of structures of the generated phrases would be like.

I realized now, in the kitchen: if you actually were to make something that we were to interact with in complete sentences, etc, then I think it should at least be able to react sarcastically to a couple of things. e.g. a random friend says "wow, you can talk!" and the house says "well, yeah." or something.

I suppose that could just be a later expansion pack, though. Sarcasm Pack 1.0.
