New "pet"

Obviously, it's not, it's just a robotic vacuum cleaner. Yet it's weird to find oneself giving it a nickname and, worse, talk to it! Cold rationality is apparently only skin deep when faced with something small that moves about on its own, makes little noises and eats dust. It does that exceptionally well, btw. But the design and user interface could do with a shot of Apple ...

You talk to your cleaning robot? :P

Well, more like yell at it when it pushes things around or gets stuck somewhere. I've yet to offer it a goody for being a good - cleaner.
