I’ve found this free book about the Amazon Echo, Echo Dot and Alexa:

I might give it a read to see if I really do want one. Anyone got any experience with them in the office?

Störtebeker 2017: In the Shadow of Death
June 22, 2017 By 1 Comment
The end of the cycle at the Störtbeker Festspiele on Rügen can only mean one thing: Klaus Störtebeker is going to lose his head at the end of the evening. But before we things get that far, there is a story to finish telling.
At the end of the 2016 play, Klaus Störtebeker and his men had moved to the North Sea and it is several years later, now in 1401, that we pick up the story. Klaus (Bastian Semm) and Goedecke (Andreas Euler) are about to attack one of the stores in Hamburg, where Fronica (Karin Hartmann) is selling fish at the market. They are successful, ultimately burning down the store after taking the contents back to their ships, but it only makes the elders in Hamburg more determined than ever to capture the pirates.

Störtebeker’s Falconer
June 21, 2017 By 1 Comment
There is a moment during the Störtebeker Festspiele that always amazes the audience, when “Laran” the eagle flows low over their heads and lands on Störtebeker’s arm. They gasp and those directly under the flight path can feel the rush of air has he silently glides over them.
Stiwi, the bird playing Laran, and his trainer Volker Walter, have been taking part in the play for the past 20 years and travel each year in May from their home in Bavaria to Rügen for the summer season, along with a host of other birds that he trains with his wife.
Last year I was lucky enough to be invited to visit them and see their birds of prey first hand.
