What’s Inside
Shiny New Gadget Of The Month:
Lockitron: Keyless Entry Using Your Phone
Hate taking your keys with you on a run? Have friends coming to visit and can’t be there to let them in? No worries… Now you can lock your door from anywhere in the world. Any smartphone can use Lockitron through its intuitive two-button app. With Lockitron you can instantly share access with your family and friends.
In addition to the convenience, Lockitron gives you peace of mind. Lockitron lets you see if your door is locked when you’re gone. It will send a notification when someone unlocks the door using a phone or key. Here are some of the key details (no pun intended):
- Any phone works – Lockitron is compatible with any smartphone, thanks to our mobile web site. Older phones can use Lockitron through simple text-message commands.
- WiFi built in – Lockitron connects to the Internet, thanks to built-in WiFi. You can control Lockitron and receive notifications from Lockitron anywhere in the world.
- Keyless entry – If you use an iPhone 4S or iPhone 5, you can enable Lockitron to sense when you walk up to the door and unlock for you using Bluetooth 4.0.
- Powerfully smart – Thanks to intelligent power management, Lockitron's batteries last for up to one year. Lockitron will even send you a notification when they are running low.
- Easily customizable – You can control your Lockitron through our incredibly simple API endpoints or program it directly, thanks to its Arduino-compatible ATMega microprocessor.
Pre-order your Lockitron today for only $179!. https://lockitron.com/preorder

MERRY CHRISTMAS & A HAPPY NEW YEAR
| On a Personal Note… |  2013 is coming to an end and what a wonderful year it has been! This year my wife and I had our first child, Adalyn. She fills our days with smiles and laughter. We feel so very blessed to be her parents.
She loves to play, giggle, scoot, and jump and is just about crawling officially (she probably will be by the time this newsletter is sent out). She has already been to 9 States in her half year of life and loves to make new friends wherever she goes. My wife no longer works at Philhaven and cherishes the special times she gets to spend with our daughter.
 The two of them pop in to Snap every once in a while and Elisa helps out at the store. Last month Adalyn got her first tooth!. We are excited for 2014 and the “firsts” that are ahead of us!

| Backing Up Your Server Alone May Still Lead To Data Loss | Most business owners know that it is important for their server(s) to be backed up. But what about your computers (desktops, laptops, Macs)? Though it’s true that quite a bit of your data is stored on your servers and backed up by your network, your computer itself (your icons, your background, all of your settings, your local files, music and pictures you have stored, and all of your software applications) is NOT being backed up.
