    The worlds first AI proactive Home Security with Deep Sentinel and Dave Selinger Co-Founder/CEO

    What is Deep Sentinel? This is the worlds first pro-active security system. This can actually prevent crimes versus documenting with cameras what happened or sending off an alarm after someone has already entered your home. David Selinger was an early employee at Amazon, working directly under Jeff Bezos. He led the R&D arm of Amazon's data-mining and personalization team. He co-founded Redfin (now a multi-billion dollar company) and founded RichRelevance, a company that offers personalized shopping experiences for large retail brands, including Macy's, Barneys New York, Office Depot, and others. He is now inventing the next BIG thing in home security – Deep Sentinel, an AI-based home protection. The company's intelligent crime prevention transforms home security from false alarms and ineffective after-the-fact crime alerts to real-time crime prediction and prevention. With Deep Sentinel, Americans can gain a reliable, cost-effective way to protect their homes and stop a burglary, mail theft or driveway break-in before it happens – and feel dramatically safer at home, at work, and on vacation.

    Many of us saw the headlines.. The Daily Mail showed it as "Moment Colorado contractor takes sledgehammer to newly remodeled bathroom, claiming he wasn't paid" or Yahoo reported the headline as "Footage shows an "angry" contractor with a sledgehammer wrecking a customer's bathroom over a $4,225 payment dispute". The headline really never tells the inside story and if you saw the follow up pictures of the ultra low quality construction you knew there was a massive problem on this jobsite. This low quality work was further destroyed by what everyone saw on the viral video of the contractor swinging the sledgehammer in this womans home and her neighbor filming him. A group of tile contractors and remodeling contractors teamed up with manufacturers to make this wrong right by fixing her shower for free all while showing the right way to do it. We have Jason McDaniel, owner of Stoneman Construction and leader of the Global Tile Posse Facebook Group , William White from Ardex, and the homeowner Amber Trucke in this deep dive into what happened at her house and the feat of this crew to get her that luxury bathroom she had hoped when she hired the origianl contractor.

    Have you ever wondered who lived in your house? When was it actually built? Did anyone famous live there? We talk with our friends Chris and Linda from History Attic Research. Does that name sound familiar? You might have seen them on the most recent DIY Network show Stone House Revival or with Kevin O'Connor from This Old House. We discuss some of the great finds and what steps they take in these research projects and what kind of information they find. Here is what they do: History Attic will research the history of your home or building and property. Our goal with each project is to trace the ownership of the property as far back as records will allow (in Pennsylvania, this means to William Penn).  Our research involves pulling property deeds, consulting historic maps, visiting local historical societies, finding wills with property inventories, and reviewing census records. ​The end result is a history of the property owners, their occupations, family stories, and a view of daily life - essentially, it's the genealogy of your home!

A little about David Applebaum: David Applebaum Architect creates beautiful works of architecture that are an expression of the life and taste of each client. Indeed, every commission is a uniquely choreographed blend of the client's dreams, the setting's personality, and the architect's insight.

Others like Quincy Jones, Esprit and Virgin Records turn to David Applebaum for their commercial work. Many more, far from the spotlight, also enjoy the studio's brilliant design and incomparable service. David Applebaum graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Environmental Design from Texas A&M University in 1980. He earned a Master of Architecture from UCLA in 1984, where he was awarded Best Thesis Project. Prior to opening his studio, David Applebaum established his credentials and reputation for excellence at the architectural offices of Edward Grenzbach in Los Angeles, Franklin Israel in Los Angeles and Joseph D'Urso in New York City.
