Tech comforts

This is the kind of weather when I wish I had some kind of home automation system in place. After all, what could be nicer than arriving home to some heat and a movie or music already playing as I walk in the door?

I don't have the most expensive electronics on the planet, but what I do have I really enjoy. So, that system could also help guard what little I have from would-be thieves. Even out where I live, there have been a lot of reports of break-ins lately. So much so that it's a little scary to leave sometimes. I don't figure there are many thieves out when the temperature is 9 degrees and there's nearly a foot of snow on the ground, but really, who knows?

Almost daily, the local paper lists criminal activity of this sort and no one is immune.
