Lockitron - Smartphone powered door lock
Another thing I wanted to make is already made. I figured the price point is cheaper than I would have made it for with all the fuckups and melted circuit boards that would have occurred along the way. Although less fun.
  • so it monitors your door being locked an unlocked.
  • lets you send keys and revoke them as needed
  • lock and unlock the door remotely
  • not have to both carrying around a key when you already have a smartphone in your pocket
  • works with existing infrastructure

I pre-ordered now for $179 to save $20. They come out in march.

Its also arduino compatible and has an API. I can't wait.

Good! Maybe you can finally find out who has been coming in your house when you're not there. I know it freaked me the hell out that someone WAS coming in the house while you two were both on vacation and supposedly noone else had a key but me! Hopefully the stranger who stole your key and stays in your house when you're not around will be stopped by this.

When I said sheep in fishnet stockings, I was joking
Category: internet
Yesterday, I jokingly referred to sheep wearing fishnets and heels. Obviously I was joking as I don't see what that would be necessary with sheep already sexy as they are naturally. Anyways, like everything I think is original, its already been done. Apparently, its even already been mass produced and is available for $34.99 (hint, hint to anyone planning a bachelor party)

New Year's Food - Crab Legs
Category: food

I made the trip down to Eden's Exclusively Alaskan in order to pick up crab legs for my mom's New Years dinner party. We had a $50 gift certificate to start with so it was a good start. Also got some scallops and salmon in a jar. The guy threw in, according to him, the world's only seafood pierogis. I am excited to try them.

Fashion Rubbers - Tingley
Category: clothes

My whole life I made fun of my dad for wearing rubbers on his shoes. Then as ana adult I got my own fancy leather shoes and syarted walking to work through the salty slush. Suddenly, it all made sense so for christmas this year I asked for my own rubbers and got em from my dad. I have been wearing them ever since.

When I was 14 and working at McCrory's this old guy came and asked me for rubbers and I kept on pointing at the condoms, I had no idea he was looking for these.

I would so get those too... It's so nice being able to walk around with nice shoes here and not having to worry about them getting ruined. Especially so be I seem to love suede heels in various colors.
