Did You Know?

Famed surrealist painter Salvador Dali would pay for his restaurant bills with a check embellished with a drawing; he did so under the (almost always correct) assumption that the establishment would not cash the check but would instead keep it because it was more valuable as a piece of art than as a form of payment.

Smart lights are not just a way to add extra convenience to illuminating interior and exterior spaces. They’re an opportunity to reduce energy consumption and create a personalized ambiance.

Some recent projects, beaming high speed internet from the owners home to an out building a quarter mile away, combining 6 remotes into one, setting up TV with wireless headphones so a spouse can sleep, and set up free over the air TV with a TiVo DVR to record shows to watch any time, and set up a smart thermostat to control home temperature remotely, to name a few.

Remember, call before you scream.

Okay I'm giving Alexa 10 spins on the Beenie prop. Very cool device. My wife scooped the geek on this one. Geek mad. 😡 Check it out.

Happy Turkey Day and not in a geek sense. Lots to be thankful for this year. Found a new donut shop for one.

Looking forward to our favorite Geek national holiday, Black Friday! Nothing like buying cheap tech on a full stomach!

Lots of requests lately for the new generation of distributed WIFI routers. Very worth the cost. Eliminates dead spots or slow speeds throughout your home or office or barn. 🐴😂. I have opinions on which to buy and will post if requested.

Geek jokes o the day:

-The truth is out there. Anybody got the URL?
-The Internet: where men are men, women are men, and children are FBI agents.
-Some things Man was never meant to know. For everything else, there’s Google.

Well we did some ghost busting this past month. It was actually the second report of ghosts that I have received. Of course ghosts are known for their sense of humor and practical jokes. My client had a very cool universal remote with one button to turn off a gaggle of equipment which it did very well. Problem was when you turned your back just the TV would turn back on. Fortunately OVG has seen this prank before and was able to apply a fix without the use of slime. OVG - 1 Ghost - 0
