Dear Friends,

Another snowstorm is in the forecast for Vermont where Spring is just an abstract concept. I haven’t seen any pictures of daffodils yet. Meanwhile, we are enjoying the boring sunshine down here in Key West.

I like the fact that sunset is around 7:45 so that I can finish work and still have time to take the dogs over to the dog park or to Fort Zachary Taylor. Jezebel loves the dog park and while she has learned not to pull on the leash when walking her it is a different story when she sees we are heading to the dog park. There she just cannot wait to run and play with her buds.

Apple had some system software updates for Mac, iOS, TV and Watch all come out this week and we have a run-down of some of the more prominent changes. I like the new theater mode for the watch – which makes it so your watch does not come on for notifications or anything while in the movies.

We will also talk a bit about internet privacy in my partially soapbox commentary on the legislation passed by congress this week.

This week’s Kibbles & Bytes exclusive features another HomeKit bundle. With this bundle you can lock and unlock your door from anywhere and also turn on the lights! It consists of an AppleTV 32GB to provide you with endless content but also to act as your HomeKit hub, an August lock and a Philips Hue starter kit. The Hue starter kit has the hub and three bulbs that provide white and color lighting. Set this up in your home (we would be pleased to help you!) and you will have automatic door lock and lights! Separately, this bundle would be $579.97 but this week for Kibbles & Bytes readers you can take $30 off and get the bundle for $549.97!
