So gone are the reclining and center console, but in are more elegance, much better construction, and cushions with springs in them, topped with down feathers!

Elizabeth named my roomba “Fizzgig” from The Dark Crystal 🙂
Roomba takes a tumble
hahah roomba just fell down the stairs, bin came out, and it said “oh oh” in beeps Guess the stair detector isn’t so hot. hmm
Roomba rocks!

Hacking the Vote
Interesting HBO documentary on the insecurity innate in the Diebold voting machines. It doesn’t matter who abuses these systems, the fact it is so easy to abuse them is horrific, considering people are dying today for our right to a democracy and to vote. Watch
Vote flipping reported in early voting
