The fine folks at iRobot strike again :)

The fine folks at the iRobot corporation have done it again.  As if the Roomba wasn’t brilliant enough, they’ve invented a think called the Looj.  Yesterday, I spent the better part of an hour watching one of my gutters malfunction because it was clogged by a single stick with like 5 leaves on it.  And I thought to myself: “why has no-one invented some sort of robot which can clean out my gutters for me?”

Now granted, in my mind I wanted a roughly 40-50 dollar robot that was solar powered that I could permanently mount in my gutters and it would realize that it should clean the gutters on a regular basis.  So, some sort of autonomous gutter cleaning robot.

But literally 30 minutes later, I received an email from the fine folks at iRobot showing me the Looj.  I have to be honest, I am beginning to wonder if the Roombas are spying on me and reporting home :)
