Summary

Control Your House Anywhere, Anytime` is a home automation tool that uses Twilio to control real-world objects remotely, allowing users to check if they turned off the lights or adjust temperature settings from anywhere. The project won first prize in a contest for Twilio developers, with the winner using LavaRock HQ for voice recognition. Another entry, `Cell Phone DJ`, allows users to control music playback and announcements remotely, potentially enhancing events or clubs by crowd participation. This week's contest focuses on PHP applications built on Twilio, inviting developers to submit their projects again if they were previously entered but didn't win.
