4) Podcast – From The IoT Podcast
Episode 224: Wyze Bulbs and the Echo Auto reviewed
Summary from the Podcast website:
“This week Kevin and I spend more time reviewing gadgets than on news. First, we hit the latest update for Z-Wave which basically makes it easier to grab a new Z-wave device and get it on a network. Then we talk about vulnerabilities in medical devices before turning to the new Wyze camera person detection. I also review the current state of the Wyze light bulbs which I have in early release. In the smarter device side, Google may be testing some form of package delivery recognition for its doorbell, while ADT has created its own doorbell. Ikea has made some new smart lights, which are more expensive than the Wyze bulbs, but a bit brighter. Google’s new local home control is in developer preview and I offer impressions on the Amazon Echo Auto device. We also answer a listener question about smart buttons for SmartThings.”

6) Podcast – From the Life of an Architect Podcast
028: Social Media for Architects
Summary from the Podcast website:
“Today’s episode is loosely based on a presentation I’ve given titled “Social Media – The Good, The Bad, and the Crazy”
The thing with Social media is that there are a lot of people out there that hold themselves out as experts and if I am being forthright, a lot of those people drive me crazy. There is a big difference between knowing what you should do and then actually being able to do it. Just because I know how to deadlift 400 lbs doesn’t mean that I can actually do it [for the record, I can’t] or that you should be listening to somebody just because they hold themselves out as an expert.”
7) Video – From The New York Times YouTube Channel
Where Are All the Bob Ross Paintings? We Found Them.
Summary from the YouTube Channel:
“Bob Ross painted more than 1,000 landscapes for his television show — so why are they so hard to find? Solving one of the internet’s favorite little mysteries.”
