It's just a garage door, right? It's just a switch, right? How hard can it be to automate it? In this article, I explore the connections between a number of projects which I've been working on for quite some time, now.

Clearly I haven't written in a while. I've been busy with all manner of projects, of late. However, since this will be mostly video and image posting, I thought it couldn't hurt to get a quick article up.

We know that I'm something of an audio buff. I love having music around me all the time. But isn't that becoming more of a staple in the American home, anyway? I certainly think so. There's lots of folks who are also listening to music all the time. I have my own personal preferences, though. (Shocker, I know.) The thing is, I want my audio system to tie nicely into my home. I want play/pause buttons scattered around, and well... I've got more demands.

It's been a crazy month, but isn't that how Halloween is supposed to be, anyway? Crazy? Well, maybe not like this. Let me explain...

I've had a handfull of friends and colleagues ask about Tasmota; what it is, what it does, how to use it, etc. So I thought I'd put together a little article to tell you about this AWESOME open-source IoT firmware, why I use it, and how you can get started with it too!

Ever wish your music was synchronized across your home, but you didn't have to sell your soul to Google to make it happen? Well, I did it with a Raspberry Pi and a nifty little open-source project!
