Cached Search Results

The web is a living thing and pages change and get deleted all the time.  I found myself needing the page below, but it was gone.  Google came to my aid with a cached version of the page, an older copy that it kept around just for situations like this.  If one or more are available, you can find them by clicking the green down arrow to the right of the web page link.

Echosim

The Amazon Echo is the coolest tech I have and its voice recognition is remarkable.  Want to give it a test drive before throwing down $180?  Echosim gives you that opportunity.  You sign in with your Amazon account, click-and-hold the speaker icon and ask a question, such as "What's the weather", and let go.  Give it a few seconds to process the question, unlike a real Echo which is blazingly fast.

Killer Brownies

Killer Brownies, made by Dorothy Lane Market in the Dayton, Ohio area, are perhaps the tastiest dessert on the planet, and its 1/3 pound of chocolate, caramel and pecans are enough to put you into a caloric stupor. Best of all, you can get them delivered!

Rescheduling a Meeting in Outlook

Rescheduling meetings is a fact of life, but rescheduling a meeting that has already taken place has hidden dangers. If you've already dismissed your reminders, your reminder is set to none.

Rescheduling doesn't take to back to your default reminder time, so if you want folks not to miss your meeting, remember to set it itself.

BlueGolf

BlueGolf.com is a great web site for checking out golf courses, including this overview of the Oakmont Country Club, site of the upcoming U.S. Open (which yours truly + wife will be spectators on Saturday).  Check out alternatives for an upcoming trip or reminisce on a favorite round (for me, Pebble Beach).

Shout out to Anthony for showing me this gem!

Google Play on Chromebooks

Google has announced that more recent models of Chromebooks (which includes my new Acer Chromebook 14 - yippee) will be able to download and run Android Apps from the Play Store.  Not sure how useful that will be on a non-touchscreen device, but it will be fun trying some of them out. It's not available until later this year, so (yet again) I'll have to be patient.

The picture is my usual bagel and coffee at Panera Bread, the site of most of my blog writing. That's how my fingers roll.

Montauks

When I was growing up (some say that process continues, but I refer to my childhood) my mother made montauks, a delight I cherish to this day. I have no clue why she called them montauks and if Google can't find the reason, I guess it will stay a mystery.

Each montauk consists of (from the bottom to the top)

• A slice of buttered bread
• Covered with slices of Velveeta cheese
• Two slices of tomato
• Three slices of bacon, partially fried

Put them under the broiler for a few minutes.

RIVBOS 805 Polarized Sports Sunglasses

I'm not a guy that needs to wear sunglasses very often as my eyes are very tolerant of sunlight.  But as they not tolerant of bugs, it's cycling season and my old pair are smudged enough to be a distraction, I began looking around and found this pair, or better yet, five pairs.  One set of frames with five sets of interchangeable lenses. Probably last me the rest of my life.

Amazon Prime Now

Out of the 27 cities that Amazon currently has 1-hour and 2-hour free Prime delivery, two (Cincinnati and Columbus) are only an hour away from my home in Dayton.  So close, yet too far away, for now.

Marion's Pizza

Foodie Friday:

A local Dayton treat is Marion's pizza, and it's hard to say, but easy to taste, why this pizza is so good. It has a thin crust, isn't the typical piled-high-with-toppings chain pizza, costs several dollars more and is smaller. But it's the best pizza in town, hands down.
