I(can has)Robot

I have a robot that does housework for me! Oh happy day! That news reel from the 50’s about the future is here and I’m playing the part of the happy housewife…

Honestly though, I have a robot. My robot cleans. It is awesome.

<story>

Recently Megan and I realized that we needed a vacuum for our future place (see last post) and the thinking went something like this: $100 will get us a vacuum, but $150 will get us a robotic companion that does it when I’m at work… Sold!

Enter the RoombaSage.

 

Roomba Sage

He tools around the room for an hour or so while you’re out and then, when he starts running out of batteries, HE GOES BACK TO HIS CHARGING STATION AND PLUGS HIMSELF IN!!! All I have to do is hit the “clean” button on my way out and when get I back, everything’s done! As an engineer who loathes vacuuming (and the boyfriend of a woman who hates vacuuming with the burning passion of a thousand fiery suns) this is an extraordinarily exciting event.

Also, I have a robot who cleans my house… awesome…

Names! We’re in the process of naming him/he so if you have a good name for our little robot tell us!

  1. OMG CUTEST THING EVAR!! >_

  2. Hmm… your site doesn’t like my anime smiley… and dropped the second half of my comment. I suggested that you name your clean-bot “Winslow”.

  3. Re: Name for the robot!

    Daneel Olivaw, natch. And Oliv for short – it even goes with his color.

  4. Noooo!! We need to name OURS Daneel Olivaw. =)

    Thanks again, you guys! You’re the best!

  5. I second Winslow! Or maybe Alfred. Or, if it starts to get despondent, Marvin.

  6. Uh.. I feel strangely compelled to suggest things. Perhaps in list form?
