roomba love

Okay, truly there has never been an invention more practical and geek-fun than the Roomba. I got mine last week, and the sumbitch is probably the most fun thing I've ever bought that actually does something useful. Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Admittedly, the algorithm it uses is best utilized in a room which is open in the center and has a few small items of furniture at the periphery. And it's not the most efficient vacuum cleaner I can think of...it tends to clean the same cross-room path and vestibules over and over. But tarnation, people...a robot vacuum cleaner with a remote control...how much cooler can you get????
