Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.  I’m Fred Fishkin.  Arthur Driessen is the creator of a blog called Maiden Voyage…a Voyage Without Carbon.  He is an audio engineer by trade who has been traveling in his Tesla Model 3 since the spring of last year…. more than 115 thousand miles in all…writing about his experiences staying charged…and what he has found along the way…through 48 states so far…

“I didn’t know if it was feasible to travel the United States with electric cars being so new.  So I just decided to go for it and I just haven’t stopped yet because I’ve just fallen in love with both traveling in the car and being on the road.”

With the need for very little maintenance …except for tires.  He’s had a few close calls making it to charging stations…but he is unafraid to take the backroads.  You can find him at www.voyagewithoutcarbon.com.

“So I was involved in a motorcycle accident, I was on the side of the highway..I didn’t know where I was and I couldn’t reach my phone.  I was just thinking, gee we have all this technology inside our phone that can go out there and tell everyone where we are…if there was just one button you could press that would do everything for you at once.”

That’s what the rechargeable Silent Beacon is designed to do.  For more info…head to www.silentbeacon.com.

Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.  I’m Fred Fishkin.  Baldwin is a company well known for making top notch hardware for doors…and it is continuing its push into smart locks.  It has had the Baldwin Evolved line…using Bluetooth technology…on the market for a couple of years.  The latest…is the Baldwin Touchscreen.  It combines what the company calls SecureScreen with Z-Wave wireless connectivity.  That Z-Wave option enables the lock to work with a wide range of smart home gear.  About SecureScreen Baldwin’s Josh Hodgson says..

“That essentially randomizes two digits before you enter your code…and that way it increases security and no one can examine the fingerprints to figure out what your code is.”

You can generate codes..permanent or temporary…for those people you want to give access to.  Find more at www.BaldwinHardware.com.
