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…
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…
“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…

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.

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…
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,…
