I've taken on a few projects at home during COVID-19 "Stay at Home." First up is a "Passive" Mixer. Meaning, it needs no power and what comes in must come out! Second, is a model rocket fin jig. This thing helps me glue the fins on the rocket so the thing will hopefully fly straight when it launches. Here is the best part. I will also put this episode on YouTube so you can see these two projects. https://youtube.com/davidmccabe Please Subscribe to my channel!

Talking Untangle, Ring Alarm, Unifi, Synology DS1019+, & Gryphon! I have a little of everything in this one. I've had an interesting few weeks with Ring and Ring Alarm. I will chat about a Synology box and the Gryphon Wi-fi Router that are on my reviews desk. A follow up on my Unifi Wi-fi system as well as how I have been doing with the Untangle router. Busy, Busy. I messed the intro up by a few seconds. Oooops. Also, everytime I type, GRYPHON, my spell checkers automatically change it to Griffin. Argh. Fixed, apologies to vendor.

Here is the RESET CES Interview Episode. I've picked out a few show floor interviews that I think you will enjoy. Ring, Abode, Fibaro, Argus, and more. I've also got a couple of conversations with friends Richard Hay, Josh Pollard, and Richard Gunther. It's not the greatest quality audio due to the noise of the show floor but it was fun to put together for you. Enjoy, and I'll chat with you about these in the RESET Forums at http://resetforums.com

It's the Christmas Episode. Short and Sweet. Talking Amazon, SmartThings, Blink, 14TB Drives, Figgy Pudding, and a question to you whether you want to hear about the cryptocurrency thing. Twenty minutes! Have a great holiday. Share with me what you get! I hope it's not a lump of coal!

Catching up on RESET 37. SmartThings has Scenes, I have new sensors and have yet to throw it out the window so I guess I'm keeping it. Synology has VM's, and StableBit has coupons!

CrashPlan is out of the home backup business and I'm going to dissect that decision and what to do if you are a CrashPlan customer. There is a lot to discuss with this move and if you are a CP customer you have many paths in which you can take with your data. I will discuss those in depth on this episode. Not one of these plans is right for everyone. Keep that in mind when you listen. Read the first link below first. If you are a CP subscriber, start there. You have time.
