In this sad episode of the eHow Podcast, we bid a kinda-fond farewell to Blockbuster, which closed its doors forever last month. Nikole reminisces and Dave and Nikole talk about more modern alternatives. 

This episode is all about “smart homes,” so Dave discusses many of the most interesting connected devices you can purchase today to make your house smarter and more science fiction-y:

Our guest this week is Jamie Siminoff, inventor of DoorBot, the first doorbell Wi-Fi-enabled video doorbell that lets you see and speak with whoever is at the doorstop from anywhere in the world via your smartphone. Jamie talks about smart home technology and, of course, takes the Geek Trivia Quiz. Jamie played for ehow Tech podcast listener Joyce Mason, and the prize was a copy of Corel Paintsho Pro.
