The Media Center Show No.155 – Lagotek

Listen Here
This week I am talking Home Automation with Lagotek, they have an interesting software based approached to home automation and home entertainment. You can even control your home from mobile devices like an iPhone. I have a sneak preview on how to win the HP HDX Dragon Entertainment PC and software bundle worth around $5000 as part of the 31 Days of the Dragon (you can see me unboxing the laptop)
Plus I have news items and Email.
