The term 'DIY home security system' probably, for most people, calls to mind the image of a young McCaulay Culkin, beating the heck of the marauding crooks in Home Alone I and II. Of course, Home Alone was an early 90's phenomenon, popular in a time when auto-detection, visual and information technology were, despite decades of concerted effort, in their infancy, and something only qualified systems engineers or genius geeks could really do with as they pleased. But computers have traveled light years in the past couple of decades. Hardware glitches, though still not a thing of the past, are far rarer, and operating technologies such as media recording and storage and motion detection is now a...

The interesting answer to that question is that it depends. The traditional sauna is electric, wood or gas-fired. Some say that the presence of steam within a traditional sauna is important to improving sinus and respiratory function. Others think that throwing water on the heater is wrong.

Saunas are relatively new in the United States. Infrared saunas are not much different from traditional saunas. The Finns have enjoyed the sauna since at least the ice ages in one form or other. One significant difference is the way they are powered. The infrared sauna uses infrared emitters. The traditional sauna uses heated rocks which people pour water on to heat the air. The infrared sauna just heats the occupants and not the air. This to me is the biggest benefit as often times when I am in a regular sauna I feel like I cannot breathe and end up running out the door after five minutes. Conventional saunas are heated with either wood, electric or gas heaters. The infrared sauna uses infrared...

Thermography is a printing process where the ink is raised on the sheet. It was originally created to simulate engraving at a lesser cost. The process is done with a normal offset press and a "thermo" unit. is attached to the end of the press or duplicator. The sheet is printed with ink and comes off the press with wet ink on a conveyor belt that takes it under a unit that drops a resin over the whole sheet. It then passes through a vacuum unit that removes the majority of the excess resin that is not attached to the wet ink. The sheet then passes through a heating unit that actually melts the resin over the ink giving it the raised effect. Thermography is usually much shinier than engraving and...

For the longest time I pooh-poohed digital...until I bought my first digital camera. There was one specific reason I bought one particular camera (no longer in production): Infrared photography. Some explanation is necessary. In the Cleveland area there is (was?) a wedding photographer who is famous for his Infrared wedding formals. At the time I was self-employed as a wedding photographer, and I thought I could do the same. I knew a photographer who shot for this studio, and I wasn't happy with the technicalities of how the Infrared photos were done. What they would do is give you a camera loaded with Infrared film and tell you to bracket the whole roll. Yes, acceptable exposures came out, but it...
