One of my back-burner review ideas is currently titled “The other woman: Three years with Alexa.” I’m not sure what that story will be titled if I ever decide to pull the trigger on it, but when I got my invite to buy an Echo Auto I knew I’d be writing that review much sooner. Thank goodness I actually have a phone I can use it with now.
Oof, no more hiding my crummy photos behind low resolution anymore.
For the $25 it cost me, I’m already impressed by just what was in the box. There’s the Echo Auto itself, a dual port charger, magnetic dashboard clip, a couple cables, and even an Amazon branded wipe to clean the dust off my dash with.
It arrived yesterday and I set it up this morning while in my driveway after just a few minutes fiddling with the Alexa app. My first impressions are positive (starting your day to Ra Ra RasPutin will do that, though). Look for a full review soon.

Were this ready on the 4th we could get a Farewell to Kings.
A business analyst in our department is using one now and I’ve seen it in action. It has a lateral bouncing light like a Cylon Centurion and the whole thing is disturbing. I’m waiting for the analyst to tell me it to exterminate me…
Robot face!
That’s creepy. Just imagine if they integrated that into the the car through OBD II…. hmmm.
