Welcome to my site. It's not just Home Theater, it's not just Home Automation, it's Home Theater AND automation.

I'll show you how I used a single PC, CQC Home Automation Software, SageTV media software and extenders, VladStudio.com art, and some random bits/bytes to build out a comprehensive but easy to use and visually pleasing control system.
