Oh my nelly it's been a while... ROBOTS

It's been so long. It's been... a number of days... you know, between all the days and none of them. My internet was down for a bit of that time and during that time I actually wrote a blog. It's now trapped on another computer (as I got a new one you see, his name's Andrew) and I'll get it off at some point. For now, I'll find something else to talk about... ROBOTS!

Let's talk about robots.

People love robots, robots are awesome. That one's also a tape player, which is useful. Technically, we should be using robots as our bitches by now because we are in the future. We're not though, are we? This is because we've realised that a blender does not need legs. Only when we get so lazy that we need something to go and get the bread out of the breadbin for us will toasters need legs. This doesn't mean we shouldn't try and build one, because, as I may have mentioned earlier, robots are awesome.

In the news at the moment there's been a lot about them trying to see if robots can kill people. Some blokes made a bit of kit that would let a robot know if it was stabbing someone. How tempting would it be to make it think it was a good thing? Or is that just me? Meet my friend, he's called STABBOTRON

There's some other guys who are wondering what would happen if you got run over by Rosie the Robot. They're still doing experiments but I really think I can help them. It'd really hurt.

For now, however, the most we've got to worry about is tripping over Roomba. Roomba's a little bastard, he don't give a damn about pets, he'll make his own bloody way around the room. Woe betide anyone who suggests a better route. Roomba will destroy us all. YEEAAHHH!

I think google and apple should make robots, they could carry your stuff and have apps on. I basically say this because I don't like carrying my books, they're really heavy. If I had a robot he could carry them for me. He'd have 6 legs and be kind of like one of those turrets off Portal. He'd follow me around because he loves me. I love robots, robots are awesome.

Retro robots especially.

ROBOTS NEED LOVE TO.
THEY WANT TO BE LOVED BY YOU.
(That's a Dan Mangan song. Listen to it. Listen to him, he's awesome)
