Have you noticed how good Google translate has gotten? They are on
the cutting edge of AI (Artificial Intelligence) with some of their
recent developments. I never thought that I'd see translation or
voice recognition as good as it is now. We know that self driving
cars are already on the doorstep. I wonder what's next?

My daughter gave me one of those "Google Home" things for Christmas.
I downloaded and installed the app for it and it works. Problem is, I
haven't a clue what the hell I am going to do with it.

Why don't you ask it what you should do with it?

'Cause it might just tell him what he could do with it!

We asked Siri on my daughter's phone to flip a coin. Normally she'll come back with a 'heads' or
'tails', but this time she came back with, "The coin fell into a crack."

Later we asked 'which is better, this or that?' Her response, "I'm not feeling very decisive today."

I got curious as to how all this stuff works and dug into it a bit.
Almost wished I hadn't. I didn't know this but Google keeps a record of
*everything* you use your cell phone for ... at least the Android
powered phones. In an obscure menu on my phone I found a "My Activity"
log. It had records, including some audio files of voice mails and of
my voice using the "Ok, Google" feature of everything I searched for,
websites visited, contacts, how many times I called someone, .... even
how many times I used "PitchLite" .. a guitar tuner app. I found a way
to start deleting them only to discover the record files dated back to
*July 4th*. I already knew that Google sells marketing data to
companies that indicate your interests, but I had no idea how extensive
and complete the records they keep were. Others do this ... Amazon for
example ... and the next thing you know you are getting specific and
directed ads in your Facebook newsfeed. I don't think I like having so
much information being shared ... usually without your knowledge. I
found a way to opt out of the Amazon reporting and for Facebook using
these directed marketing ads, but I suspect it's only the tip of the
iceberg.

My #2 son gave me one of the compact lithium ion battery jumpers/chargers after I complained of loosing out on two cruises on my new boat due go low battery chargelast summer. It's rated at 700 amps and supposedly will jump start a 5 liter gasoline engine. Seems small for that but time will tell.

Good luck with it. The one I had, which was supposedly a good one, wouldn't turn over the Yamaha 150
when I needed it. Now I keep a Battery Tender connected. Keeps the batteries well charged.

"loosing" and "chargelast"?

I wouldn't bring it up if you didn't jump on everyone's (except Harry,
for some reason) typos all the time.

I bought one a couple years ago and it works great, used it several times to jump cars, bikes etc..
I stash it in the bottom of my panniers on the bike along with my tire pug kit and compressor for long trips.
