Chris, say hello! February 4th 2006, ricardo


Yes, that's my new pet. An AIBO ERS7 It doesn't pee/poo in the floor, it doesn't destroy things, doesn't need you buying everyday food. It just makes sounds and right now (Mind1) is quite dumb. Looking forward to receive the update for Mind3 which will make all this more interesting (in theory it cand read you the RSS and play music and things like that.. By now he is just exploring my flat and doing a little bit of mess everywhere he goes.

As you may know, Sony decided to leave the robot sector because they weren't getting enough money from it. Quite a shame because that means the robot QRIO will be never released. The new made me look for information about the robot and I found that was much more interesting that what I thought. So the next step was going to Ebay and check how much the robot was on there. Somehow (i'm not sure yet) I won the bid and I got the robot for less than half of the price ;)

It doesn't have his toys yet tho, so he is being a little bit bored.. well, now, does anyone guess why his name is Chris?

Press power button and end of the problem ;)
