I want a Scooba now, too!

If I see it up on Woot again, I'll post on LJ.
I'll also make posts as time goes on about extended use.

I want one too.

Interestingly enough, my advisor's advisor was one of iRobot's founders.

I'd love to have a Roomba, too, but between Bean and my own lack of domestic motivation, by the time I've tidied up the living room enough for a Roomba to do it's job safely, it would only take me five more minutes to vacuum. Honestly, if the cost hadn't been $100, I'd still be without the Scooba. Higher income notwithstanding, $300 is a bit much to pay.

It really is fascinating to watch.

...wow. The high end model actually has a charging station. I was thinking that a charging station would be nice but just how practical is it to have a rolling tank of water plug itself into an electrical source...

silly me. I forget that not everyone is a tech head. Linked it to the iRobot homepage for un-techs.

Hey, are you still interested in "Goonies" this saturday night? We're gathering here at my place earlier int he afternoon to watch Monster Squad and ET, then we'll go get dinner, then off to the AMC 18 for the 11PM showing of Goonies.

Let me know!

Unfortunately, we've got other obligations Sat night.
:P
But with luck, it won't be the last one.
