I’ve published my first app on the Google Play Store – a dashboard for personal watercraft, like Jet Skis.

‘Tis the season for using my boat trailer. But first, I need to test whether the lights work.

Over the last year, my wife and I have left our gas stove on twice. Once, the burner was not lit, so we woke up to a kitchen full of gas. Not good.

I built a triple-sensor mailbox alert to tell me when there is mail in my mailbox for me.

My wife and I have a heating pad on our bed. In the winter, we turn it on an hour before we go to bed. When we get into bed, we leave it on until we warm up. But if we fall asleep before we turn it down, we’ll wake up a couple of hours later, overheated. Clearly, we need a technological solution.

A sous vide cooker allows you to cook a perfect steak every time. You can buy one in the stores, but I wanted to make my own.

I barbeque exclusively with charcoal. I used to have a Weber kettle grill, but we wanted something bigger and got a Blue Rhino Uniflame grill. It’s nice, but when you’re done grilling and close all the vents, it doesn’t smother the coals. There are just too many holes and gaps in the shell.
