Randy Walker joins us this week as a first-time guest and long-time listener. We get to know Randy and discover he is a contributor to two different Podcasts, The Daily Detroit Podcast and IT in the D Podcast. We spend some time working thru his home automation plan and ask if you can even do HA in an apartment effectively? Lots of great conversation and great to have Randy on the program!

Thanks for listening!
