Alarm Systems


For those who might own the alarm system that came in your house, here is an interesting alternative to the $30/month+ Brinks or ADT home alarm monitoring services.

Basically, for $5 a month this service will send an email/text/call to your cell phone if you alarm is triggered or if a smoke alarm goes off. Or for $12 a month they will dial the police or fire department just like Brinks/ADT.

Here are some reviews - take them for what they're worth. I'll update the blog if we decide to switch over to NextAlarm.

Speaking of alarms, have you seen the ADT commercial where the guy puts on his hood and then does a round-house kick to the lady's front door during the friggin middle of the day? Seems pretty likely. Especially the hood part. Straight up Unabomber. These commercials are the worst at preying on people's fears....sorry, couldn't find the video....

Just to let you know - this site is bookmarked and checked frequently.

It's good to get a dose of Techman wit/humor every now and then. It's good for the soul!

And, just as a reminder, if it's a boy - you spell my name M-I-C-H-A-E-L T-H-O-M-A-S -- actually, pretty good for a girl, too.

Well, two comments on a baby name means I should probably start a contest, if not just a poll....
