kimbathewhitelioness Jason, I dunno about all these garden gizmos and robot thingys... they all seem like a prequel to Terminator 3:Judgement Day! Scary stuff, that. (And I'd like to talk to your wife - I think she needs to be in charge of the toy buying for your children, not you! God forbid.) =)

The first video wouldn't play. I really liked the Hal 5. Sort of makes a person look like Tron! Sponsored by Asahi beer & Mazda. I'd love to see a drunk person in that suit!

This is some wild stuff. The shoping cart robot almost made me pee in my pants from laughter. But the robots are close to invading us, just around the corner! I hope our future dates are not going to be with robots. ;-)
