Hello, Tech Tails readers!

Happy first Tech Tails article of the spring season! As I’ve mentioned in previous articles, spring is my favorite of all seasons. The brisky mornings, afternoon sunshine, chilly evenings and the waning and waxing temperatures certainly keeps one on their toes. And that could not ring truer than it did this past weekend. In the Burlington area, we were just shy of a 60º day on Saturday afternoon- glorious! I could not have asked for a better weekend to relocate into a new apartment. And if I may subtly pitch some of our home automation products, I am beyond excited to get my new living space decked out in Homepod and some Philips Hue bulbs and strips, for starters. I highly recommend keeping the idea of home automation in the back of your mind while you conduct your seasonal spring cleaning this year. You’re never too late to hop on the evolving home automation market. Sometimes folks will ask me, “What’s so cool about home automation?” to which I respond, “You ever seen 2001: A Space Odyssey? It’s like that only without the monkeys.” After that, it’s easy to venture down the rabbit-hole and demonstrate the wide-reaching and ever-expanding utility our home automation products have. Next time you’re in a Small Dog Electronics, tell a sales associate you want to see some of the cool features our home automation products have. You won’t be disappointed! Come to think of it, if you swing by our South Burlington store, there’s a very good chance our friend Erich Sullivan is already preaching the gospel of home automation by the time you get there.

We have some good material for you in this edition of Tech Tails courtesy of myself and our friend and fellow technician, Moses Laporte. We hope you take something away from it. As always, we’re happy to answer any questions you may have.

Stay groovy, Tech Tails readers!
