And I'm sure I'm their favorite human

Exciting news regarding my two favorite household devices that "know" me and do things for me on their own -- like vacuum my floors and record episodes of Seconds from Disaster:

1. iRobot, the genius makers of the Roomba robotic vacuum, are introducing Scooba, the floor-washing robot, in November. It preps, washes, scrubs and dries! If you are at all skeptical, honestly, such disbelief would cease if you saw Roomba at work. Scooba must be just as awesome.
   
   
2. I received an e-mail from TiVo, wishing me a happy anniversary. Apparently it has been one whole year since I became a registered member of the TiVo Rewards program. And they remembered! Just like they always remember to record any program that includes the words "Star Wars" in its title or description. TiVo, more thoughtful than most men.
