Yeah, I was shocked last night to see that the sun was still out when I got out of my school board meeting. It was nice not to have to drive home in the dark! I have always felt like Joe Rogan was kind of a douche, but I have heard his podcast is really good, so I might have to put my biases aside and try to listen to one of two of the episodes at some point. Some of this new stuff they are releasing about UFOs is just outright creepy. Cool, but creepy! I use some of those phrases all the time and have never really thought about them. Also just picked up some smart plugs a while ago myself. They are pretty cool.

The extended daylight seems to happen all of a sudden this time of year. I didn’t really know much about Rogan before his podcast but have to admit I really enjoy them. I always feel like I learn something from each episode. What are you using your smart plugs for?
I remember him from News Radio I think it was and then he was the host on fear factor. I watched the show, but I never really cared for him. Then he got all into MMA I think. I am just using my plugs for lights right now. We have the ones above our cabinets in the kitchen and then one in the living room and one in the bedroom.
I remember him on Fear Factor but I never watched it. Ahh, I see. I'm looking forward to experimenting with them to see what uses I can find. I always assumed you needed Alexa or Echo to run them and have never been keen about non-Apple "smart speakers" due to privacy concerns but just recently found out you can operate them outside of those ecosystems.
Yeah, I bought the Gosund plugs and I use them in conjunction with Google Home. We don't do any of the voice stuff. Even though I am sure my phone is listening to me anyway, it still creeps me out. My wife is pretty anti Alexa as well. How does it know when you say hey Alexa if it isn't listening!
I got mine yesterday and they're all set up. I'm just running them with the Kasa app but plan on seeing what I can accomplish with the IFTTT app. It seems like the "listening" from the mobile phones is getting more intrusive. My Google newsfeed is populated with ever more pertinent stories/ads. I agree, it's more creepy than it is helpful.
