Cool project! Is the name perhaps inspired by either: 1) The kids cartoon scientist with a lab, or 2) The Miami homicide bloodsplatter specialist moonlighting renegade serial killer?

It's actually a pun: Dexter, as in the Latin for "right", as in your right hand. Bad I know.
If it's the 2), the assistant should be called the Dark Passenger.

Having the voice of the cartoon would attract me though, for the fun factor. Imagine having Dee Dee for error messages:

User: "Dexter, play some music."

Dee Dee: "Ah, I don't want to."

Dexter: "Dee Dee! What did you do to the network connection! I can't reach the Internet! We're doomed!"
