Your Doorbell Just Got Its Geek On

By on June 6, 2015 in general geekery, security, shiny metal objects

In a world where Nest has given us the thermostat we always knew should exist, SkyBell brings you the WiFi video doorbell. If someone knocks at your door – whether you’re in the buff or 30 miles away at work, you can quickly answer your door in an authoritative voice. You can answer questions and the person at your door doesn’t need to know whether you’re really home or not – or how many people are home with you.

The SkyBell comes with a companion app for Android and iOS devices so you can view a video stream when the motion detector lets you know someone is there and you can reply via your device to questions asked by whoever is at the door.

Geek Solution to Cable Management

By on June 5, 2015 in cable management, general geekery, tools

onixstillA geek designer from Florida, Francisco Molina, has come up with his own unique solution to the problem that drives us anal retentive geeks absolutely crazy: cable management! If you’re like me (and if you’re a geek and reading this blog, you probably are), you’ve got lots of gizmos that need to be plugged in – to power, or USB or AUX or something or other – and the one thing you don’t want is a mess of tangled wires cluttering your beautiful altar of tech greatness. The project he’s launched on Kickstarter ends in just 2 weeks, so be sure to check it out before it’s too late. As cable management doohickeys go, his are very reasonably priced and it’s an innovative design concept.
