    Roomba!

    Got this cool new gadget the other day.

    It roams around the bottom floor of the house vacuuming. We can notice the lowering of cat fur already!

    I liked it so much I found another (cheap) one on Craigslist for the upstairs.

    Of course, every worker needs a supervisor. F.A. and his pal, Sonic the hedgehog, supervise Roomba's every move.

    MEOW!
    Encrypt everything. Even if you have nothing to hide. It increases the noise floor.

    You didn't get a cool new gadget, your cat got a cool new riding toy!

    I forgot about those. I remember when De$pot was selling them for awhile, when they first came out.

    How well does the thing actually work?

    It actually works pretty well.

    I like it because it gets under the beds and dressers. It really takes out the cat hair.

    When Roomba is done doing it's thing, I still have to dustbust a few stray specs, but that takes no time at all. I've been incredibly impressed with the Roomba's performance.

    We have three cats, so these things are a godsend.

    I'd thought about it when they first came out... Mickey the Mutt shed hair equivalent to at least 2 cats, plus what we get from LucyFurr... but the cost was prohibitive.

    I will have to look into this again!
