I recently wrote a few small Perl scripts to create an Asterisk AGI Application called PhoneBlast. It allows callers to add themselves to, remove themselves from, and send messages to an automated voice message broadcasting (PhoneBlast) list. I got the idea from Nerd Vittles and Ward’s TeleYapper applications, but I wanted users to have control of whether they were on the list or not through a double opt-in method.

I’ve been programming my phone system to do some pretty cool things, but eventually I want to be able to make my house do some pretty cool things, too. I found ioBridge and I’m sold, especially after finding all sorts of projects that people have made with their stuff. Here’s a great example: the Beer Cannon. Why get off the couch when you can have your beer fridge shoot one at you?!
