OK Joel have you really run out of things to talk about? You're really going to have a post dedicated to light bulbs? My answer to anyone asking those questions is absolutely. In the pursuit of a smarter home one of the most popular ways to start is with something everyone has and needs lightbulbs. There are two companies hitting the "smart lighting" scene Phillips and Belkin. After doing a lot of research there seemed to be very little difference between the bulbs themselves, the difference came down to their iOS apps and expandability. For me Belkin seemed like the frontrunner there so for Christmas this past year I was lucky enough to get the Belkin WeMo LED Lighting Starter Kit.

I've heard from multiple people that the show Mixology was worth watching. But it took Jake spending the night and forcing Jenn and I to watch Mixology (originally on ABC) on Netflix. For those that don't know Mixology had a 13-episode run on ABC before being cancelled last June. The shows premise is brilliantly simple. Follow a group of people in a bar over one evening. That's it. One evening. One bar. 10 single people. 

Last year I wrote a post that talked about 3 shows that Jenn and I were extremely excited to have returning to TV in April. This couldn't come at a better time as I don't know how much more Good Wife I can endure without a break (we've watched 2 seasons or 45+ episodes). Its a good show but we've watched a ton of it. So here are four shows that are going to require us to move on to greener (or darker) pastures. 

Somehow I missed writing up a review on Season 2 of House of Cards (even though I did write up Season 1). How did I do that? That might have been one of the best seasons of television I've ever watched. Frank Underwood was all sorts of ruthless in Season 2. It had one of the best first episodes of a season that set the tone for the remaining twelve episodes. But sadly I did miss writing that up and without re-watching that incredible season I will just keep marching on. Season 3 of House of Cards was released around a month ago and Jenn and I just got done with the thirteen episode season.

These are some of my favorite posts to write. I absolutely love going to the movies, and there is something special about the summer movie season. When I look back on my exhaustive list of summer 2014 movies last year I realize that the majority of those movies weren't all that great. Here's to hoping that this year has better results. So without further ado here is my list of movies I'm looking forward to in 2015.

Although I'd love to say this was on purpose, almost a year ago exactly I wrote a post talking about the shows Jenn and I were looking to try out in early 2014. We only watched 3 of the 8 shows I listed (Orange is the New Black, True Detective, and Silicon Valley). I still do want to watch Outlander (which I read the book), The Walking Dead (which I loved the video game), and Black Sails (which is about Pirates).
