Because of Booty Dialer work, I haven't had time to really flesh out the Echo and Narcissus project I had in mind, but I did begin playing with Lumenvox, the voice-recognition engine that we've got installed on the ITP Asterisk server. It's a pretty robust system, as long as you ...
For our Redial midterm, we created Booty Dialer, which is an automated booty call system (some background here). The idea was to automate the oh-so-laborious process of trying to find some booty when you're out on the town. You sign up online before hand and enter in your potential booty ...

Asterisk's text-to-speech system is called Festival.

(There's a good tag reference for SABLE here.) The idea is that ...
How could I not post that picture?
As a little experiment in getting Asterisk to interface with physical objects, I setup a servo that will push a LEGO man over when the user enters 1 on their phone and pulls him back up when they enter 2. It was all relatively ...

Adam, Jeff, Ruth, and I are play testing our big game this weekend, and we'd love for you to join us. The Invention of Murder is a mystery game based on the real unsolved murder of Mary Rogers in ...
For Big Games, Adam Parrish, Ruth, Jeff, and I are creating a mystery game played in the streets of lower Manhattan (see above!), based on the unsolved murder of Mary Rogers, made famous in Edgar Allen Poe's story The Mystery of Marie Roget. We borrowed some gameplay mechanics from the ...
For our Redial midterm, Corrine and Marc and I are creating Booty Dialer, an automated booty call system. The notion is that you sign up on the website, and enter the phone numbers of your potential booty calls. When you're out and about and decide you want some booty, you ...

Last week, Scott and Daniel and I came up with a grand scheme to help launch a long-term project we've been working on. The idea was to get a bunch of people in Washington Square Park at the same time and cause them to all ...
We've started working with AGI scripting, which allows you to interface with Asterisk from an external file. And we've got the handy phpAGI library installed, so we can perform most Asterisk functions from a PHP script, plus have access to MySQL and all the advanced functions of PHP, which certainly ...
