About a month before, Karen tells me that ... http://www.dougpace.com/2008/03/26/married/ DARPA (creators of the internet, a surprise to Al Gore), have come up with a robot that is simply scary.

Having something like this (or hundreds of things like this) ... http://www.dougpace.com/2008/03/17/scary-dog-like-robot/ This is probably an example of counting my chickens before they have hatched, but we believe we have a new puppy. I say that because the site indicates the puppy as "adoption pending," but we have yet to receive the confirmation that we are the "pending" home they are ... http://www.dougpace.com/2008/03/10/new-puppy/ I went to Comcast to try to get another one of their crappy Motorola HD DVR boxes, and was very pleased to find out a new box has been released.
