Sep 23 Why your digital channels may be missing
As many of you know I am a big fan of OTA HD. It typically has the best picture when compared to Cable and Satellite. I had been enjoying all my locals via antenna up until teh recent digital switch. Then all of a sudden my four broadcasters disappeared from my TV. Its like they vanished off the face of the earth. After doing a little research I find out that all four channels are down in the upper VHF band. Now my Yagi Antenna (HD9095P PDF) is rated for high VHF but since I am 45 miles from the transmitters I decide a dedicated VHF antenna (YA6060 PDF) is in order. These two monsters should pull in signals from almost a hundred miles away.

Sep 19 Home Automation - As additive as Crack
As the summer starts to draw to a close I noticed the the lights that I have on timer are turning on as it gets darker and darker. So twice a year I have to move furniture around to get at the timers. This year I decided that I want to look into home automation so my lighting can be set from the comfort of my office chair. I decided to go with an Insteon System for no reason other than they are located two miles from where I work at my day job. I ended up going with a starter package that included two lamp controllers, one appliance controller, a computer interface, access points for the mesh network, a remote control, and software. The total cost was about $420 at the Mac Home Store. The system I bought works with both Macs and PCs the only difference is that you need software that runs on your platform. On the Mac I am using a package called Indigo. On the PC you can use a package called HouseLinc but there are others as well.
