How to Set Up Your Amazon Echo: The Basics

Smart devices are meant to make your life easier, but the setup process can prove frustrating! As life gets more high-tech, do you find yourself struggling to keep up? If you were recently gifted, or chose to purchase, the Amazon Echo Dot, you may be intimidated by it—it looks simple, but is it? Yes, and don’t worry, here are clear, concise instructions on the Amazon Echo setup that will get you using and loving your smart gadget in no time.

Learn the good, the bad, and the myths about this best-selling tech device.

The first thing you’ll want to do for your Amazon Echo setup is grab your smartphone, download the Alexa app in the app store and then open it up. You can also download it on your tablet with iOS 9.0 or higher, Android 5.0 or higher or Fire OS 3.0 or higher.

Be sure to check out these 10 weird things your Alexa is capable of!

From here, plug the included power adapter directly into the Echo and insert the other end into a power outlet. The light will first turn blue. That means the power is connected. It will then turn orange, which means Alexa is preparing to greet you. Once you hear Alexa’s voice telling you the device is ready for setup, you can move on.

Unless you want creepy laughter, an answer that lasts for eternity or some serious sass, you should steer clear of asking Alexa these questions.

The newest version of the Echo Dot does a great job of guiding you through the process of linking your Wi-Fi network to the device, but should you get stuck, all you need to do is open up the Alexa app, search the available networks and select yours. Be sure you click on your Echo device in the menu. Beneath the ‘Wireless’ heading, you’ll be able to see that you’re connected to your Wi-Fi network.

Here are 20 amazing Alexa hacks all homeowners should know.

Wake your Echo Dot up by saying, “Alexa.” If you want to change the wake word, just say, “Alexa, change the wake word.” Your other options are “Echo,” “Amazon” and “Computer.”

Now the fun part begins! Go to the Alexa app menu and get to know the two sections called ‘Skills & Games’ and ‘Things to Try.’ These are your guides to all things Alexa and what the device is capable of. You’ll learn how to make to-do lists, send text messages and much, much more.

Yes, Alexa can even power your microwave!

Milk Jug Hack: How to Make a Simple Scoop

Image
I’ve read many hints that advise the reader to cut off the tops of plastic milk jugs and use them for funnels. I’ve found that if you replace the cap after cutting the top off, you can use the milk jug for a scoop, too. It’s perfect for handling potting soil, fertilizer or pet food. The no-scratch plastic also makes the milk jug scoop ideal for bailing water out of your boat. — Ray Dean How to Make a Milk Jug Scoop For this scoop, we used an empty half-gallon milk jug and angled the cut so that the side opposite the handle is slightly longer, more like a scoop than a funnel. Draw your cut line on the milk jug. Use sharp scissors to cut on the line. Trim or sand off any rough or sharp edges on your milk jug scoop. As Ray notes above, this scoop can also be used as a funnel by simply removing the milk jug cap. In addition to this handy pet food scoop, check out more projects that’ll show your pet some love .

30 Things That Look Like A Vagina — But Aren’t!

Image
The amazing vagina. Really a genius work of engineering, a true workhorse. So much respect for the incredible Miss V. There is one thing though, I really can’t hold it in any longer! No –- I have been doing my pelvic floor exercises – it’s not that! It, well, and it may just be me but I really do think the vagina was standing outside the room when looks were being given out. Granted –- the vagina is a quite striking composition and one that is very distinct in its appearance. Quite the individual. Or is it?! Hmmmm… It seems the ole Vejayjay has cheap rip offs / imitations appearing around the world. Objects trying to ‘imitate’ this wondrous thing it would seem. Idol worshipping or simply just creepy stalker-ish wannabes? I’ll let you decide. I present to you – 30 Things That Look Like Vaginas – but aren’t!! Well okay – more like Vulvas but for effect today they are coming under the vagina umbrella. Sit back, do some squinting, head tilting if needed, but be warned. Once you see ...
