Why are Zinus Mattresses So Cheap?

We finished our basement during 2016. And in doing so, we added a bedroom. (Because, theoretically, adding a bedroom will provide more return on investment for the basement remodel.) But, we never put a BED in that bedroom, until last week.

HomePod is a Giant Leap Forward

We recently added a HomePod to our iOS-connected home - replacing a SONOS Play:1.  As a music player, it's an improvement. But that's really only the tip of the iceberg. Adding a HomePod brings HomeKit into the mainstream. It's a major leap forward.
