Although it's fine at sucking up dirt, finding its way around the room
and returning to its charging station, its real achievement is in not only
getting the children to clean up their toys first but also tiring them out
before bed.
This works with three magic phrases:
- “Roomba's coming out tonight. Clean up your toys or Roomba will eat
them!”
- “If you can clean them up fast you can stay up to watch Roomba!”
- “Here goes Roomba. Don't let him touch you!”

You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
It is assumed that every brand name, slogan, corporate name,
symbol, design element, et cetera mentioned in these pages is a
