VR Adventure:
Ooo, we did a Pistol Whip story campaign! A tale of robots taking over all the humans on a world, and one person fighting back. It’s four levels, and they were pretty fun. Got a neat weapon that could shoot four at a time, and one level was only dodging and attacking with your hand. And a giant boss robot was in the last level. It was less than half an hour and I beat it on the first run, but still really fun.

Look, we were doing great with dishwashers, microwaves, washers and dryers and then the helping home automation seemed to have just stopped? Where do we stand with those promised household robots?
Let’s start with folding clothes. There is this one that helps fold clothes, but that’s not the dream. This Laundroid was more like it, but it went bankrupt. It’s just not an easy task. That was a few years ago, and I’m not seeing anything new on the horizon.

How about dishes? Where are we with putting away dishes? Hmmm, there was this pretty cool demo of a possible, not-for-sale robot from Samsung not too long ago that could at least put dishes in a dishwasher. Progress?
It does look pretty dang close to a robot butler.

How about cooking? Any help there? How about a giant pair of arms floating around the kitchen? Maybe not.

Of course we can’t go without mentioning where we stand regarding robot vacuums. Our household isn’t a fan of the Roomba we have, and we have a good one. They just take a bunch of babysitting and maintenance. At least this one doesn’t need to be emptied as often? Maybe after a while they’ll get good.

I guess you could make home security into a robot, so here is Amazon’s offering: an Alexa with cameras on wheels.

Okay, food didn’t go great this week. Was kind of riding off the high of crushing it last week.

Outro:
This week puts us at 188 even, which is slightly more than 187.8 last week but still a full pound under 189 from the week before, so we basically maintained this week. Honestly most of my exercise has been super long walks though because of gorgeous weather. Here is hoping that I keep things more in check this coming week for more progress. Still! We’re down 16 pounds in 22 weeks, and still more than halfway to our goal of losing 29 pounds! Down we go.
