Roomba saves child from deadly viper
Read about this a while back. Pretty neat accident, but I think there’s a market for security robots in the home. In Israel, a couple came home to find that their Roomba had killed a venomous snake that snuck into … Continue reading
American Spendor (2003)
After weeks of sitting around and collecting dust (uh, not me, the DVD), I made time and watched American Splendor. It’s a 2003 movie starring Paul Giamatti as Harvey Pekar, the creater of the American Splendor comic book. What a odd, … Continue reading
