BRAD: Berkley Ridiculously Automated Dorm, Has Everything But a Live DJ [Video]
Combine some servo motors, motion detectors, software, and throw in a laser light show and a surround sound system for good measure, and you’ve got BRAD–an awesome and automated dorm room.
The brain child of Derek Low, a Berkley student, the dorm automation system includes automatic, remote, and voice controlled modes for sleeping, studying, romancing, and partying. If you’re looking to recreate elements of his automated room, you’re in luck. Low keeps a detailed project log for all his projects, BRAD included.

Sounds like sour grapes odinos.
You shouldn’t project your own shortcomings on others, its not nice.
