Wouldn't it be great to have a window washing robot in your life? Cleaning windows is a chore I could definitely do without.

Humanoid Decor: Hand Painted Robot Light Switch Covers
If you have a room in your home that needs a little jazzing up, sometimes it only takes a few minor changes to give it a whole new look. For me, that room is the bathroom.

Droid To The World: A Creative Robot Nativity Scene

I still giggle when I think about th ...

Why Bother With A Diva Artist: The All Robot Band
I couldn't even tell you how many times I have worked with people in the studio who keep their diva personality up in the air as best they can. It's not only annoying, but it brings all the creativity down to a minimum, if even that. At those times, you just want to scream, but that would probably n ...
