Top Home Security Tips: Prevention is the Key

By
We all make mistakes, so here are a few simple home security tips to remember that may help you prevent a break-in.

The first step towards protecting your home from burglary is to decrease the chances that you will be a victim of a home invasion or property crime. Unfortunately, your house can serve as an easy target without you even realizing it.


Fortunately, there are additional actions that can be taken to make your home less attractive to a burglar. By taking these fairly easy extra precautions, you may be able to keep your home protected and your mind at ease knowing that your belongings, loved ones, and home are protected.

Follow each link of the home security tips below for additional information:
  • Vacant homes are a much easier target than occupied ones. Do not make it outwardly apparent to everyone that you are not at home.
  • Predictability can help a criminal guess when you will or won’t be at home. Change things up. Mix up your schedule and daily routines on a regular basis.
  • Easy entry for you can be easy entry for a criminal. Make sure that you don’t help potential burglars by doing the hard part of their job for them.
  • No outdoor lighting can save you on energy bills, but it can make your home a very attractive target. Keep your home and yard lit at night.
  • Valuable items in view are like a display window at a store to a would-be thief. If you have valuables and would like to keep them, don’t make them visible to those outside.
 Additional tips for helping to keep your house secure from intrusion.
  • Do not give your name on your outgoing answering machine or voicemail message and never provide any information that indicates you are not home.
  • Thoroughly shred all important documents containing personal information, including receipts, bills, statements, credit cards, and any other document which provides a date for when you will not be home.
  • Never leave doors or windows unlocked even when you are leaving the house unattended for only a short period.
  • Have you recently made a big ticket purchase? Be sure to dispose properly of the packaging. By leaving that big box your new flat screen came in, on the street for trash pickup, you are letting the whole world know about your purchase as well.

Jazzpunk Is A Stylish, Joke-Fueled Adventure Game Like No Other

By
Have you ever encountered something really funny in the moment, but later, when you tried to explain it to friends, it fell flat? Not because it wasn’t hilarious. It was. But rendered in words, the scenario just loses its comedic weight. That’s what I want to avoid doing with this review, so I’m going to hold off on spoiling the jokes and just focus on what makes Jazzpunk such a uniquely designed piece of comedic video game gold. Jazzpunk is a pop art collage masquerading as a spy thriller, a jumble of nonsensical Dadaist aesthetics interwoven with modern day tech jokes, all not-so-neatly contained within the silly, cyberpunk sandbox within which its absurd, special agent shenanigans take place. It’s all very chaotic, and I loved every second of it. Set in some kind of alternate history, Cold War-era retrofuture, you play a possibly-cybernetic Agent Polyblank who must carry out a series of whimsical surveillance and infiltration missions in a possibly-virtual realit...
