Can a man love a machine? He can if he is a geek and the machine is a)red; b)a robot; and c) it CLEANS HIS HOUSE!!.
The Bride Who Wore Black and I recently bought our very first domestic robot, an iRobot Roomba. We bought it Saturday and I put it through its very first test run today. It performed beautifully.
Hopefully, soon I will capture it on camera and share its wonderfulness with you. Perhaps after that I will equip it with rockets and plot to take over the world. But for now, it vacuums. That's all. But while Rosie vacuums, I get to do other stuff!!! And isn't that the only reason we want robots, to do our work for us so we can do more important stuff.
I have wanted one for a while but couldn't bring myself to spend the money on something that might not work. But it does, it does!! It just makes the geek in me smile! Now where's my flying car?

I can totally see you and the Bride refitting Rosie some day and sending her out to the gladiator ring on Robot Wars.
(Just give her a few years of domestic vacuuming bliss before you start attaching the battering rams.)
