Last Tuesday my Roomba arrived. After years of mumbling about how nifty they are and how I should get one, [livejournal.com profile] larksdream pointed out to me a special deal on the net, so I ordered, and now I have one. My house is already several small scoops full of dust cleaner. In my abundant faith in technology, I immediately programmed my roomba to run at 11am twice a week while I'm away at work. I have so far come home to find it: caught in stereo wires (now tied up neatly), stuck on a rug (no fix there yet), and high-centered sideways on a threshold between two rooms. Someday, my hair will be the death of it. So far every second or third cleaning I need to cut my hair out of its rollers. I still think it's better than sweeping.
Today I got a new iPhone 3gs to replace my 2+ year old original iPhone. The faster processor does make UI things snappier, and the gps and compass are neat, and it's 32GB vs the old 8GB, but mostly the new iPhone is the same as the old iPhone.

We've considered getting a roomba, but we have 3 cats. Just about everything it has to pick up is hair.
