So I have to admit that I’m the crusty old curmudgeon who is way behind on things like home automation. After a recent issue with my water heater I opted to replace it with one that utilizes heat pump technology. I know a lot of people are installing tankless models and I strongly considered that path. My challenges were as follows–
Given these constraints, I stumbled into the hybrid water heater models. These are big tank models that utilize heat pump technology as a preferred method of moving heat into the water. As demand increases, traditional resistance coils can be invoked to generate heat.
The goal is to be more efficient than tankless models and have the option for rapid recovery. My biggest concern was the added complexity and additional components that could fail. Nonetheless, the energy ratings were very good and there are some rebate programs and tax incentives to offset the cost. I ultimately chose a GE Geospring 80 Continue reading

Big data is the hot buzzword in security analytics today, but buyers are skeptical because many companies have spent years building “data lakes” only to discover it was impossible to “drain the lake” to get something useful.
And unfortunately, today’s solutions often include expensive clusters coupled with static business intelligence reports and “sexy” dashboards that look good but add little to useful and productive security analytics. Focusing on the analytics and how to use the data (very valuable data) in order to make real time decisions, discover critical patterns, determine on-going and changing security policies and dramatically improve security – ah – that’s useful.
