The Future is NOW
August 19th, 2003
When you dedicate as much time to sitting in front of the TiVo as I do, you must learn to make sacrifices. I've given up eating, sleeping, and now I've decided that house cleaning is entirely too time consuming, and I must put a stop to it.
Enters my new robot housekeeper, Roomba. I am now living in the future. In fact, I feel like George Jetson, just sitting on the couch while roomba takes care of the cleaning for me. It arrived today, and is going through the first charging, but tomorrow I will make sure to put it to work.
If you don't know what a Roomba is, you can read about it here. I've done quite a bit of research on Roomba, and the reviews I've read swear by this little machine. It seams like Roomba is as valuable to its owners as the TiVo is to me. That seems hard to beleive for $175, but there are discussion boards on Yahoo, Roomba Studies, and even a blog dedicated to Roomba.
I bought mine through HSN who had the best deal, $200 - $25 with an online coupon and an extra virtual wall. I'm hoping with the two virtual walls I can set up a brickels game like this one.
Now while I go watch the TiVo, I'll leave you with a link to the RoombaCam. If you dont click on any other links on this page you should at least check out this one.

You never cease to amaze me and always continue to amuse me. I don't know how you even find all this stuff. Only thing I can't tell if it does is actually do the rhumba or the tango. Might be interesting to watch!
wow! ...does it make noise on the hardwood floor or any general running whirrs or whistles? that is so so cool. ...lemme know when hsn comes out with a bathroomba to clean the tub & toilet.
