		<description><![CDATA[The Nexi Robot by Toney Allman will fascinate you from beginning to end. It relates the quest of MIT robotics professor Cynthia Breazeal to build a social robot, one that learns like a person does and that interacts with people in a social way. Much different than tool and task oriented robots that dominate the robotics field, social robots are designed to learn from people and interact with people, understanding and showing emotions.

		<description><![CDATA[Robot Zot by Jon Scieska and David Shannon explodes with energy. Robot Zot has landed in the backyard and quickly invades the house where he destroys the toaster, an infomercial, and plenty of other things, and he rescues a toy telephone from a toddler, convinced she is captive queen. Everywhere he is followed by his faithful robot pet who looks something like a Spanish conquistador's helmet.

I might show it to a grandparent or uncle around Christmas time. I think I'll show it to my friends' kids, though. Nothing like sowing seeds of the Christmas Gimme's early on and spoiling summer in the mix.]]></description>

Now I love my daily grind, but if someone, or something, can grind and brew it for me, well, how can it get any better?]]></description>
