Cue Matt's post about how this is the first step towards the robot overlords in 3...2...1...

This is like that guy in Atlanta, a bar-owner, who created his own water-hose-weilding remote-control "robot" for bum-sweeping and clearing out drug dealers. He built his out of a meat smoker.

EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! YOU ARE INFERIOR, EXTERMINATE!

Sweet Lord in Heaven, you have got to be every tech boy's dream come true. As I remember, you like Battlestar Galactica, Dr. Who, and several other Sci-Fi shows.

But will it get me unlimited rice pudding?

Don't you want a security camera that isn't so noticeable?
