Painter, art critic and historian Interview starts at 15:00 and ends at 41:14 “I remember your talking on one of your programs about Jeff Bezos’s insisting on a one-second [Alexa] response when his staff said, “We can get this down to three seconds,” and he said, “That’s not good enough.” That makes a huge difference. It shouldn’t--we’re so impatient, I’m so impatient. But the fact that it is more more conversational and that I don’t have to wait and think about the fact that this is a machine processing it, makes it much more real to me.” News Jeff Bezos’s 2016 Letter to Shareholders - and the 1997 letter (PDF) “Over 550 Amazon Employees Are Pressuring Leadership to Cut Advertising Ties With Breitbart” by Charlie Warzel at BuzzFeed - April 13, 2017 Tech Tips How to connect Amazon Tap to a new wifi network (Amazon help page) Ask My Buddy skill for Alexa Interview with Kesler Woodward Painting in the North, Kes’s web site Western States Arts Federation Kes Woodward on TKC 50 - July 1, 2009 iPad Mini 4 Bufo Calvin in VR on TKC 453 - April 7, 2017 Content Audible Range “About” page with email signup Next Week’s Guest Naomi S.
