All Apple All Day

Once again, we're changing things up around here. In keeping with iOS's new "flat" aesthetic, we lost a few of the serifs and graphics. There may be some missing functionality for a bit, but we'll get it fixed. Thanks!

I received a Sonos Play:1 speaker as a Christmas gift. It's fantastic. In fact, it's SO good that I'm eager to Sonos-ify the rest of our house. But I'm learning this as I go. What do I need to do? What do I need to buy?

Over the past weekend, the AAAD family traveled to my parents' house in Iowa. And as you'd expect, I was given several IT-related tasks. I couldn't fix any of them. The culprit? My parents abysmal wi-fi range.

This blog is about "building an iOS home". That's literally our mission statement. So, Apple's HomeKit would appear to be a necessary building block. Right? Right?

We spent the Thanksgiving holiday with my family in Iowa. Back in Chicagoland, however, things were not going well.

As I wrote in my last post, we recently added MyQ functionality to our Raynor garage door. A week later, the verdict is in - it's great. But not for the reasons you might expect.

I can be a forgetful guy. The good news is, I'm aware of that fact, and can compensate. Most of the time, that just means that I have to be extra-vigilant. Which means I'm constantly checking and re-checking to make sure the doors are locked, that there's nothing left on my schedule for the day, and so on. But I'm tired of checking the garage door. It's time to get a MyQ iOS garage door control.
