Dot to Dot - the daily 5min Alexa demo show

Did you know, on any Echo with a screen, you can ask the A-lady to show you any image that takes your fancy? More than that, you can upload your photos to Amazon's cloud and ask her to show you your photo library on your Echo too. You can ask to see your photos from this day in history and even ask her to add to them by snapping a pic right there and then with the built-in camera. Nice.

Q: How many quizes does it take to have fun? A: One.

By Vocala, those truly prolific providers of quality skills, today's superb selection is a must for everyone who wants to gen up on the highway code. Really great sound-effects too.

Two Jaws-related skills today. Why Jaws? Why not?? Hmmm. I wonder just how many Jaws 1081 podcasts all lined up in a row would be? If it helps, Jaws was 25 feet long so you do the maths.

With excellent explanations in every case, this skill serves up breathtaking celestial snaps from space or from down here on Earth, and both displays and describes them beautifully - so even on Echos without a screen, you're still well and truly in the picture.
