Giving “House Music” a New Meaning Blog

This guest post comes to us from freelance technology writer, John Sciacca, and was originally published in Home Smart Home Magazine. There are a variety of ways to pipe music around the twenty-first century home. You could get a massive boombox, crank it to 11, and stand in your foyer all John Cusack Say Anything style. You could snag a bunch of cheap clock radios on Amazon, carefully tune them all to the same station and volume, and then enjoy some sweet (and nostalgic!) FM as you move about the house. You could carefully scatter Bluetooth speakers in different rooms and then play a fun little technology game called “How far is 33 feet away?” Or you could go with a professionally designed and installed audio system carefully crafted to maximize the performance for each listening area.

UP, UP, AND… AMAZING Blog

LOCATION: Sonoma Valley, California // DEALER: Summit Technology Group // PHOTOGRAPHY: Jim Stone Photography   A hilltop in wine country gets grounded with automation.   Up a long, winding road in California’s Sonoma County, a beautiful bride weds her winemaker-turned-developer groom as they stand next to an infinity pool edging a forested valley.

For this fortunate couple, it’s precisely the place they call home.   From the moment you turn off Highway 12 at the north end of the Sonoma Valley, you know you’re headed somewhere special.

How to choose the right home security system Blog

This guest post comes to us from Sage Singleton. Sage is a home and community safety expert for SafeWise and has written for a variety of audiences ranging from government sites to lifestyle magazines.  According to FBI statistics, there were more than 1.5 million burglaries in 2015. As a homeowner, this might be alarming—especially for those who have families. There are several measures people take to help keep their homes and families safe.   Some people start or join a neighborhood watch, but that means relying on others to be diligent.
