"Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backwards."
-Aldous Huxley









I could never understand this quote...until I bought a Roomba today. I'm fairly certain that I saw this vacuum on The Jetsons when I was 7 years old. That makes Aldous' quote seem very wise for someone who experimented liberally with psychedelic drugs.

Wait a second...

Rosie didn't look like a Roomba, and Aldous Huxley has only one worthwhile quote...but if you mention that one, you have to talk about The Doors.

I'd prefer to write a haiku few.

Ahem.

Tender red roomba
clean the cat hair off the floor
now kiss me, robot

Sweet sweeping vacuum
you are very powerful
like Mrs. Clinton

Magic machine glides
like a banshee in the night
picking up debris.

Yeah...I still got it.
