I am still loving my new 560 Roomba. its much better than the old model. It is much easier to clear and the battery life is terrific - it can cover my entire 1050ish sq ft apt in once pass. It returns to the dock better than the past units. The one nit to pick is that the brushes need to be cleaned more often - or at least, the Roomba will stop and ask you to clean them. I think this partly due to more sophisticated sensors in the Roomba, but to me, this shows an area where the design could be improved.

Ail in all - I give the product a 5/5. Get one!

I've been traveling a lot lately - I'm in LA now, but back tomorrow. It looks like a fairly steady diet of traveling for the near future, but I'm hoping to take a vacation in October (stay tuned!!)

Wow!  3 months have passed since my last update!  Well, settling into my new job at IGN.com!  Of course, everyone should visit IGN daily (after browsing Xanga for a while, obviously!  The weather is blazing hot in SF this weekend - well, 80ish, which is rather unseasonable for the Bay Area.  Essentially, living in SF and Seattle for over 10 years has made me completely intolerant of anything outside the temperature range of 35-72 degrees F. 

I'll be shuttling back and forth between SF, LA and a few trips to Denver over the next few months.  I should be *quite* busy.  I'll try to update more, but I think I've got a clear lead on Dan for blog entries in 2008. 

It was rather Jolly.  Weather was fantastic, though slightly colder than SF.  It rained only once!  The football game was fantastic, picked up a few nice scotches that you don't see over here, saw three plays and had a couple crazy nights out.  I'll get around to posting pictures soon!
