News From the Pleo Front

Bloody hell. Remember how I first posted about the afreakingdorable Pleo a year ago? Well, I've been following the trials and tribulations of our favorite elusive little dinosaur ever since. And now his release has been delayed again, plus he's going to be more expensive. Dammit.
The essay contest does seem like a good idea, though. Now I just have to think of something brilliant (and brief) to say about how robotic life forms will influence my life in the future.
Oh, incidentally, I meant to blog about this Wired article about Pleo ages ago, but forgot.
