Fresh And On The Go

Amazon is taking their convenience to a whole different level. Instead of waiting for delivery of your Amazon Fresh order, if you have Amazon Prime you could place your order either from your computer or out and about via the app and pick it up while running other errands. This video explains the concept pretty…

Alexa Primed For A Food Delivery

I did not know Amazon Restaurants was a thing, let alone complete hands-free ordering of food. I got an email about how Alexa, Amazon’s intelligent assistant or whatever is inside the Amazon Echo, will reorder a meal. I’m thinking to myself “How can Alexa reorder a meal?” I go on Amazon’s website and lo and…

Halloween Is Coming

“Mummies are the original zombies. Just wrapped up in toilet paper.” – Ciárán This year was somewhat excruciating with regards to getting the kids costumed up for Halloween. August knew what he wanted, thankfully. He plans on being the 9th Doctor from “Doctor Who” which didn’t take much. We purchased an appropriate Sonic Screwdriver, August…

Prime Now In Seattle

By |

I was surprised it took this long for Amazon’s “Prime Now” service to arrive in the Seattle area. Back in March Prime Now debuted, and over the next couple of months expanded into several cities, including Austin, Dallas, and Baltimore, but not Amazon’s home city.

The Requisite Daylight Savings Time Post

By |

As I begin typing this out it is 5:20 in the morning. I have been awake for an hour. We “stayed up” until about 10 last night, turned the clocks back an hour, then went to bed. I sure was tired and looking forward to getting some sleep. Normally I wake up a couple of…

Problems With Amazon Video

I am so frustrated with Amazon’s Instant Video service. It’s a great resource, in theory, but in practice, it’s an exercise in frustration. Particularly if you’re a member of Amazon Prime – a service I pay for. You expect, when you pay for something, to get a certain level of service. Granted, this is an…

Movies For Sickness

By |

August, my 9 year old, is home sick from school today. It is nothing serious, but definitely worth keeping him home under quarantine and observation. Since he is older, he is able to watch certain things that I (and most parents) feel is inappropriate for the younger kids. Unfortunately, with one television in the house,…

A Good Music Day

By |

Today started off with the offer of a few free MP3 downloads from Amazon. Usually they are by artists I don’t know or don’t care that much for. This time, it was a mix of 5 different artists, one of which was Rick Springfield. The songs were all Christmas themed. A free Christmas song by…
