Batteries, schmatteries. You're a Techno-Guru, Lloyd, couldn't you just make batteries out of some tin foil, a peanut and a rubber band?

I get you Michele, but some people might not, because your humor comes from the future. The distant future...the year 2000!

Actually, there are 10 types of people in this world -- those who get binary, and those who don't.

You are one day ahead of your time, Lloyd.

Here's today's NPR story on making robots that play well with others:
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=16035299

Findings: Too much robot dancing makes the robot a social outcast among pre-schoolers. And when the robot's batteries run down, the kids put it to bed.

Great soundtrack by the way. I was expecting "Rockit" by Herbie Hancock, but this cool.

I just arrived in Pittsburgh, and for some reason, people kept looking at me and my robot as if it isn't common to see a Tech Guru travel with a robot....

Lloyd, Zach Chaz And I like your robot but the kids also think you must be a robot with all of your tech knowledge. Have fun in
Pittsburgh.
