Dot to Dot - the daily 5min Alexa demo show

Andy Brown (@AndrewBrown100) is back demonstrating the excellent skill; Daily Log. Dictate short or longform notes, listen back to recent notes or search through older logs and even lock them for privacy if you want to keep them away from prying ears. Nice one Andy.

Uncover the mystery of Jupiter's moon Europa and a fellow scientist's disturbing emergency radio message, with today's Atmospheric sci-fi thriller audio choose-your-own adventure game. If your Alexa has a screen, then you'll also get images to go with each scene. This one really is out of this world!

Get all in a tizzy trying to crack the code words within the shortest possible time, and then unwind to the zen-like tones of a relaxing piano.

Let's kick-off the new year with some (frankly fairly ambitious) resolutions to get 2018 off to a great start. My two faves happen to probably also be the most doable; to think about volunteering and to try to be as positive as possible. Happy new year one and all.

If you like the Monty Hall problem (which door hides the fortune and which doors the goats) then you'll like today's skill which adds a nice explosive element to this classic quiz show scenario.

At last a version of this classic playground game that has some actual playability. We've had our heads mangled by the whacky version that includes reptiles and a pointy-eared character from Star Trek, so now let's just relax into the very familiar version of our childhood where you're pitched against the sassy A-lady.

If you're into cricket then this skill is definitely for you. Today we look at Talkie Cricket which will bowl you over (or at least bowl you an over) and, after that, I'm stumped for any more puns to deliver. I couldn't help seeing the little Dot up there with tiny arms and legs and clutching a cricket bat or ball. Cute-looking for sure, but watch out for your googlies out there!

Do you know who invented Coca-Cola? And who invented jeans? Who on Earth invented this terrible skill (not that I could do any better, of course)? Maybe that'll be one of the questions in this challenging quiz all about the great inventors of our time.

Saying "Alexa, open Beyond the Void" rewards you with a reasonably fantastic audio fantasy adventure with the most understated audio effects I've yet to barely hear - to the current point of play, at least. Actually, replace 'fantastic' with 'feeble'. Want to let me know just how feeble? You know the hashtag.

Just in case you haven't had enough hilarity from yesterday's Christmas Crackers, today's skill serves up some real groaners that are bound to put you off your left-over turkey.
