Dot to Dot - the daily 5min Alexa demo show

Blackjack, 21, Pontoon - whatever you like to call it, if you'd like to have a crack at Blackjack and try your hand against the digital dealer then this skill might just be for you.

Today we're looking at a skill that serves up dollops of Apple-flavoured inspiration to order. The much-missed master of the corporate turnaround often had some truly motivational moments - but I can't help thinking they'd be better spoken by him and not the A-lady, and with some groovy background music too. A bit like the 'Inspire Me' skill, in fact.

A gentle yet hilarious satirical political sitcom (try saying that three times quickly out loud and people will give you a funny look) and well worth a listen.

Pick a category, pick a letter and pitch your wits against Alexa. Actually she does the picking. Good luck!

My daughter, Faith, has taken a few minutes to create a mystery quiz for me using today's skill; Quiz Maker. After enabling it, simply go to myquiz.space, create a quick multiple-choice quiz , and then amuse/amaze your family and friends. Warning - for whatever reason this skill seems to object to your choosing Option 3!!

Either you'll be like the 73% of people who love this skill (Yaaaay! Clap, clap) or you'll be among the 27% who'd rather poke themself with a barbeque skewer - surprisingly, there is no middle ground here. That's %age of listeners to this podcast of course. 99.99999999999999% of the world's population have never heard of this podcast, have an Echo or probably have even seen a barbeque skewer.

You probably know all about this show. Just call me an idiot while I waffle on about what this skill entails. Grandmothers. Eggs. Gums.

Another star host for another milestone episode. David Woodbridge is Vision Australia's Senior Adaptive Technology Consultant and you can get regular doses of tech-related goodness by subscribing to his 'Talking Tech' and 'iSee' podcasts in your podcatcher of choice. Thanks for contributing today's episode, David.

You can catch this skill, like a theif in a web, simply by downloading it and pressing Play. If your Spidey-sense is tingling and you detect yet another contrived description to today's skill then give yourself a pat on your big, hairy cephalothorax (I feel a bit queezy now - I wish I hadn't written that...) Oh, and by the way we have a special guest for tomorrow's episode.

You're on a train, hurtling towards London when you wake from a dose and suddenly find yourself deputised by a detective. Tickety-tum, tickety-tum, tickety-tum. I'm putting in these sound effects as this skill is sadly lacking in that department - but otherwise it's on the right track...
