I finally had enough with the Behmor Coffee Maker. With firmware updates causing problems, the coffee marker making eight cups, sometime the coffee maker not working and unpairing from my iPad, I have finally had enough. I purchased a normal, non-internet connected coffee maker. I guess some things are not meant for automation yet. The…
I finally tried Amazon Music since it was free for a week. It didn’t really work for me. It usually recognized the titles of the songs but it would pick obscure groups to play the song. I cancelled the service before the week was over and went back to Pandora.
I woke up before sunrise and watched the sunrise and us pulling into Royal Caribbean’s private island, Labadee. I have been looking forward to going back year for a long time. I even was able to book the same cabana I had last time I was here. Today will be an extremely relaxing and lazy…
Day 2 was a very relaxing day. It started with breakfast outside on the deck. From there it was a show for repeat Royal Caribbean passengers. A trip to the casino (actually came out even) and then lunch at Windjammer. Then back to the casino. My partner won big (including the IRS form), and I…

Unfortunately I ate most of the goodies before I remembered to take a photo so all I have left is the flowers and champange. We…
After the hotel that I was not happy with, I am finally on the ship and it is amazing. My personal genie met me at the pier as I exited the taxi. She had my bags whisked away and within ten minutes I was in my cabin. All of this by 11:30! This cabin has…
One of the strangest hotel rooms I have ever been in. Shower has a window into the bedroom. There is no curtain between the shower and the bedroom.

Cool is starting to kick in. I can talk to my home automation and my home entertainment. I am truly getting to be a high tech house.
Over the last few months I have gone a bit overboard. I bought two more Amazon Echos as well as an Echo Dot. I am getting use to talking to my house. Occasionally I also use it as a bluetooth speaker. Not the best sound but it will do.
