No words needed.

The beep was the spoken word.

Me: "Hey, Siri, what's the time?"

HomePod: "At the tone it will be 1535. Beep."

Windswept & interesting!

I love many different music styles, I've been doing a great deal of exploring in the 6 days of owning a HomePod.
An example is this Scottish drums & pips number https://youtu.be/2DF-pIojGME - at no stage do the thundering drums overpower the wail of the bagpipes. It really is impressive technology.

Lindsey Stirling’s Spontaneous Me video https://youtu.be/pRPOztxXWlQ is awesome when the audio goes through the HomePod. A driving, thumping base is predominant but the violin parts are never overpowered by the thundering base.

Tomorrow at a Mac User Group satellite meeting, I'll be pitting the HomePod up against a 12-year-old iPod HiFi. Should be interesting: the room is really too big for a single HomePod to effectively fill it.

Giant HomePod leaves its mark in Cupertino.

At Aldi today I bought a five-way garden power tool: it is a brushcutter; line trimmer; hedge clipper; lawn edger & chainsaw depending on which of five attachments go on the power & drive end. Hell, a dedicated lawn edger costs almost as much as this implement.
The trick will be assembling the thing from various bits.

Giving the antacids a right old hammering today. Guts is in turmoil, I dare not try coffee in any fashion. Vomiting up my lunch didn’t help matters at all.

I don’t have any fancy furniture to get damaged
