My six months with Amazon Alexa

I have now spent six months with my new housemate Amazon Alexa and I can now say that she has brought some fun, daily laughter opportunities as well as relieved some stress. She is now part of our family.

Gadget review: Kodak Pixpro FZ201 Friendly Zoom compact camera for the family

  This Summer I will travel lightly and only take my new Kodak Pixpro FZ201 Friendly Zoom compact camera (only 109×69×38mm) ditching my Canon SLR camera. I love to take good pictures, in fact I always aim to take excellent photography, but after trying this little camera during a city break in Lisbon I have made up my mind. For me the crucial feature is the quality of the images and videos as…
