  • Millennials Spend on Home Remodeling

    Posted on May 21 2017


    CNBC reports that millennials are among the top groups of people increasing the money spent on home remodeling projects. While the oldest homeowners are still the largest spending group, millenials are quickly coming in second with a seven percent increase in average money spent to remodel a home for an average of more than $26,000 a year. Surprisingly, a first-time buyer often spends nearly $34,000 renovating a residential property.

    Where is the money coming from for new construction and rehab projects? Typically property owners use the equity in the home and other items like bonds, stocks, and vehicles to access the necessary money to complete home projects. Millennials are not going this route with most of them using credit cards. Houzz conducted a survey of more than 100,000 participants finding that spending since 2004 has gradually increased year after year. CNBC says that this is a signal to the rest of the country that the housing market has rebounded nicely since the recession, and they claim that the current spending rates are comparable to those of pre-recession numbers.

  • Securing the IoT is Everyone's Responsibility

    Posted on December 09 2016


    A little tech topic today, might be a little off topic, but as the internet of things grows it will continue to effect all of our lives. How we organize and secure our digital lives will become as important as our physical lives.

    The largest and most damaging distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack took place on October 12, 2016, and one of the internet-connected devices you own may have been part of the incident.

    The 10/12 DDoS attack will always be remembered because it managed to block access to social networks and other major websites across large parts of the United States. Reddit, Spotify and Twitter were among the websites by the attack, which directed massive amounts of internet traffic to Dyn, a major domain name system provider based in New Hampshire.

    There is another reason why the 10/12 attack will be remembered: the perpetrators took advantage of the many vulnerabilities found within the Internet of Things (IoT), which consists of a large network of smart devices that communicate via the machine-to-machine (M2M).
