I share your anger about LaRose’s blatant attempts to sabotage Issue 1, but that didn’t stop me from voting early and in-person. The line looked long, but moved quickly and I was on my way home in 30 or 40 minutes.

We only lose if we don’t vote! If you can vote early, I would encourage you to do so!

I’m rocking in a hammock in my backyard, while the portal solar panel I got for camping charges my bike battery. The sun is definitely the most useful thing right now, giving me next week’s commute!

I forgot this was happening today until I saw a line going out the door at a medical marijuana shop. It certainly made my bike to work smell more interesting, but I’m glad my fellow Ohioans can now imbibe in relative peace.

My reason for preferring Zigbee over wifi was pretty simple: I don’t trust IoT manufacturers, so I want as few smart home devices connected to the Internet as possible. With Zigbee not providing Internet connectivity, that’s one less thing for me to worry about.

Additionally, lots of Zigbee devices act as repeaters, so it’s unlikely you’d need multiple Zigbee hubs. My only Zigbee hub is in the basement, and I can control my Hue lights in the attic no problem, thanks to the devices in-between rebroadcasting and commands they see.
