Ah, the month of May. Beautiful weather, a festive tune on the radio, chestnuts roasting on an open fire, a man coming down the chimney…wait, what? This is MAY! We must have been confused due to a story we just heard. Here is the run down. Over Memorial Day weekend, police and firefighters were called to a home in Orange County because a man was stuck in a chimney. No, it wasn’t Santa Clause. It was the homeown

As we headed out to Palm Springs for the spring CAA Convention, we were really excited about meeting up with the makers and shakers of the California security industry. The security industry is changing faster than Apple product versions; technology that wasn’t possible just a year ago is now becoming mainstream.  As you know Electronic Eye Security specializes in two cutting edge technologies: pro-active surveillanc

Sometimes, I HATE reading the news. Now, I really avoid using the word “hate” if I can help it but seriously, it’s true. There are so many terrible stories out there. In Philadelphia, a man was apprehended after a female pediatrician was strangled to death and then burned. In New York, a cab driver was shot in a robbery gone bad (not that any robbery can be good). In Arizona, a man was caught on fire while trying to

I stumbled across this quote recently and knew instantly that I loved it, “I knew that I had come face to face with someone whose mere personality was so fascinating that, if I allowed it to do so, it would absorb my whole nature, my soul, my very art itself.” –Oscar Wilde. This spoke to me on so many levels. I don’t know about you, but personality is a HUGE factor in anything I do. Whether it is on a personal or pro

Have you ever watched Parenthood, the NBC show? It happens to be a favorite of The Office Genius! Now, not to spoil anything, but a major storyline in season 5 was the fact that Crosby (a main character), had MOLD due to water damage. Not only that, but the house was deemed unlivable until the problem is fixed. This little problem took him and his family to a hotel then to his parent’s house. I know what you’re think

  Southern California is no stranger to feeling the earth move. In the last few months there have been more than a couple earthquakes. Luckily, there hasn’t been any major damage but they keep telling us to be ready for “The Big One”. Mother Nature has been getting pretty feisty! Unfortunately, we don’t really get warning for such events. There are so many things that could happen! Have you ever wished you can g

Have you ever been in charge of others at work? If you are, then you’ve probably found yourself wondering when exactly Joe locked the doors and went home. Or when Jane really gets to the office in the mornings. Maybe you’re curious about how long that cleaning crew is working every evening considering how much they charge! You’re not alone! Business owners across the OC are falling in love with Instant Notifications

    If you’re reading this, you’ve already started to dread the serious heat coming. It is creeping up on us and there is nothing we can do about it. Summer is almost here! Did you know that crime rates tend to be the highest in summer time? A couple reasons are the simple fact that people are on vacations and school is (for the most part) not in session. Now, we’re not putting down all teenagers but the si

Looking back, I remember that I used to say, “What’s the password?” before I’d let someone into my room (or pretty much anywhere with a door). Often times, it was a parent or older sibling who wouldn’t care and would enter anyways. Or I was using an easy password, such as Barbie or Dodgers. This happens online all the time. As technology advances, it is getting tough to keep the crooks from getting your information.
