    Smart home: lighting, locks, sound, cameras, and more

    Last month my wife and I purchased our first home together. I’m hoping to install a ton of smart home features around the house. I’m not completely unfamiliar with the concept, as I had several IKEA Trafri lights and outlet switches in our last apartment together. However, we only used them on...

    Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus

    A chorus of media outlets are now reporting Ronaldo to Juventus is a done deal at EUR 105,000,000. I'm still shocked by this. Ronaldo is 33 and at a age where even his younger competitors, such as Wayne Rooney, are moving away from the world's top leagues due to declining skills. Still he's the...

    #1 Florida State vs. #2 Auburn - The Final BCS Championship Game Thread

    I have never been more uncertain coming into a championship game than I am tonight. Florida State is undefeated and has dominated nearly every game, but hasn't faced the toughest opposition.
