April 02:
Sci-fi weekend.

A robot named Cynthia?

My cyborg-namesake is the brainchild of industrial robot designers Dick Becker and Roger Gay. Getting a bit fed up of being asked "Does it make tea?", they decided to design a robot that could do better - one that could fix cocktails.You can watch her in action at (what is said to be) the world's first Robotic Bar and Restaurant in Tooley Street, London. More cool robots are here

Over the weekend, Arnold took me to see The Time Machine. Critics have ripped the film to shreds, and perhapss they had good reason to do so, but the movie had an effect on me that's entirely personal*, no bad review can spoil it. (By the way, the acting was really just so-so but the production design and special effects are something to behold.)

*I guess it just reminded me that life is fleeting and so we have to savor it one day at a time.
