Hmmm, your second link looks promising. Having a remote control which executes commands would be good for this application as well as other cool things, like controlling a music library from accross the room. I'm definitely gonna look into this, but not tonight since im going to bed soon. Lets keep this idea alive though, if it worked it would be pretty awesome I think

Edit: oh yea, zero bucks is a little bit of an exageration, i could spare a few if it was promising
