Nagoya NA-24J Ultra Whip VHF-UHF Antenna
John reviews the new lightweight Nagoya NA-24J Ultra Whip VHF-UHF Antenna. He reports the performance is better than most stock handheld antennas, but the real differentiator is the weight:
"Here's where the NA-24J excels. The antenna element is less than half the thickness of the NA-771 and about 1/3 the weight. The 24J weights in at mere .3oz (8.5g) as compared to 1.0oz (28g) for the NA-771."

Honeywell Thermostat and Amazon Echo
I can adjust my thermostat from the app on my phone - which is nice, but the real advantage is being able to build the schedule without having to wade through the menus on the limited physical interface of the thermostat itself.
So, I'm not sure how much I would use the integration with the Amazon Echo, but it's cool to see it is an option:
So, I'm not sure how much I would use the integration with the Amazon Echo, but it's cool to see it is an option:
"Amazon Echo can now control your Honeywell Total Connect Comfort Thermostat. Use Alexa, the voice service that powers Amazon Echo, to set the perfect temperature in your home by voice command. Simply say "Alexa, set my temperature to 72 degrees" and enjoy your home's comfort without having to lift a finger."Also, you can get a cheap refurbished Amazon Echo today from Woot.

Baofeng Tech: UV-5001 and UV-2501+220
A couple of shots to show the relative size of the Baofeng Tech UV-5001 and the UV-2501+220. It's not that the UV-5001 is that big - the UV-2501+220 is amazingly compact.
