Get ready, it's a rare post from yours truly
OK, I have a post in me. I've added a few robots to my household, so I thought I should share the experience.
1) Rosie the Roomba is the first bot. She's nice and simple, but smart enough to do her job pretty well. Her job is to clean each floor or room, one at a time. She does this with minimal complaint. My GF was very worried that I had gotten a dog. When she found out that the new family member was a cleaning robot, she was much relieved.
2) The android phone. Yep, I caved to my desire after half a year, and got the latest android phone. She's awesome. I just switched her to a fast British accent. She a bit of a savant, in that she can do everything I want, but I have to kind of coax her along and get her in the right frame of mind to do her stuff. She knows where I am. She knows all about everyone I might want to look up. She knows if a flight or train is late. She knows how to get to places, and where the traffic is bad. But to get her to tell me all of these things, I have to pull her aside, and tease it out of her. I suspect I'll teach her to read me books while I drive, but I'm not there yet. I'll have to give her a good Erisian name, but it hasn't come yet. I'll also be giving her a new skin job, but I'm still thinking that over too.
