Have you heard about the latest pixar movie?
It’s going to be about a robot. Pretty excellent. It kind of reminds me of the robot from Short Circuit (people will kill me for not knowing his name… something about number 5?). I’m interested to see what the story is behind the character. I feel like Pixar is always pretty good about coming up with new stories.
Anyway, the film is scheduled for a summer 2008 release date.

I like them so much. I’m not even really sure why, except that the commercials are also adorable. It’s the new Tamagotchi, but I was never really a fan of those.
Perhaps I am just lonely. Give me a friend?
About two years ago I was on a road trip from the lovely Napa Valley back to the city of San Francisco. I was with my friends Anja and Mikey just crusin along, listening to tunes provided by Anja’s buddy Andrew Thompson, and there was this one song that caught my attention. It was about his bad encounters with robots and that if you’re NOT a robot, then you are welcome to be his friend.
I asked Anja for a copy of the song, and as people do, she forgot. HOWEVER, she did recently hook me up with the video for it and here it is for all you to enjoy:
I don’t watch television. This is not because I do not like television, this is because I have no paid for cable and I also do not have an antenna to receive local stations. Therefore, no T.V. for me. This is why I have just now seen these commercials for the Helio.
Have you seen them? They’re precious! The music coupled with the inquisitive, easily excitable ‘bots makes me fall in love with the commercial and the feel they provoke. Observe:
Now, I’ve been known to be more susceptible to advertising than the average person but…I really, really want a Helio Ocean now!
