It's super easy. Once it's connected to your WiFi you're all set. It's also connected to your phone and your complete playlist. You just tell it what to do.

"Alexa, pause"
"Alexa, skip"
"Alexa, call Sherri"
"Alexa, volume up"
"Alexa, add sugar to my shopping list"
"Alexa, I need a haircut"
"Alexa, tell me a joke"
"Alexa, play Aerosmith"

Plus the thing really sounds amazing. Brilliant acoustic design.

Right on. That's just not something I have a demand for and I'm paranoid about it always listening as if my life was important enough to be spied on. Cool if you dig it though.

  1. Had a hangover, but a nice greasy burger killed it.
  2. Had one of the best rounds of Disc Golf doubles in a while yesterday with some outstanding throwers. Didn't win, but what a battle as we came from dead last to battle for first on the back 9. My drive game was on fire. We lost by one stroke right down to the last putt. -15 to -14 under par on a 20 hole course.
  3. I have an easy schedule going into the next couple of weeks. Well, so far anyway.
  4. My vacation is only a couple of weeks away. Disc Golfing in upper IL, then MI, then back down to lower/middle IL for a tournament with the biggest payout in Disc Golf history.

But I feel ya. Anyways, you looking to buy some real estate?
