Back to Home Security – The New DSC
I haven’t talked about home security systems for a while. There’s a reason for that. The security world is changing, but not that much. It’s never been an industry that’s big on gimmicks, nor will it ever be. If you want an alarm installed in your home, it’s typically because you’ve been personally affected by […]
Creating Space – Securing Bubbles
I’ll be honest; I’m getting a little tired of all this personal space I’m getting. I never thought I’d miss those shoulder-to-shoulder crowds at concerts, or restaurants. I want desperately to go the grocery store and fight for my place in line with some 80 year old who is oddly aggressive with her cart. I […]
Electronic Locks – Alula Communicators
The YRL and YRD Yale electronic locks have recently ended up on the shelves of the Big Box stores, making these locks the number one option for those doing home automation.

Buyer Beware
Do you need an alarm? Watch out for pressure sales.
Technology Progression – Locks
Believe it or not, I’m not ready to post about the Romans yet. So much of this old, historical information is contradictory that speaking with any confidence of accuracy is difficult. Out of frustration I actually turned on YouTube and listened to a livestream of one of my own personal favorite writers doing a Q&A. […]
Inviting Them In – Overusing Social Media
I’d be lying if I didn’t acknowledge my own use of Facebook as a way to both talk about my own goings on, and a way of keeping up with others. It’s not like we don’t know privacy is a thing. There are times when we’d just rather have the attention. This is gonna sound […]
Probably Never Happen – Really
There are some things you just can’t plan for. Some things should really be replaced. Some people really want in. And dumb will be dumb. Inevitably, stuff happens. When setting up security, it’s really up to you to decide how much protection you need, and what you think you need to protect against. If someone […]
