A Somewhat SmartHome or Where’s the Light Switch?
My SmartHome is supposed to be smarter than me, right? I’ve avoided a lot of the SmartHome push, but finally gave in over the past week or so. My caving in was not really due to laziness or really needed to automate anything. It was more out of an intellectual curiosity, and to see what I could […]
Greetings from unsunny Portland
Does the sun even know Portland exists? I’m out on the West Coast this week for a mixed business / personal trip and after arriving in Portland Monday night, I have not seen the sun yet. I hear rumor that it will come out and be beautiful today, which will be great as I am […]
