You Too Can Program Robo-James!

I'm on vacation next week. Don't you judge me. You have no idea how hard this job is on my tender, tender eyes.

Unlike my usual February week off (when I just hang around in Brooklyn watching Tuned In Jr. and Tuned In Jr. Jr. while they're on school break), I'm actually going somewhere, so I probaably won't have much of a chance to post from the road even if I get the urge to. I will of course be leaving you in the capable, cold and metallic hands of Robo-James.

But you know me: why would I settle for merely not working next week, when I can also find a way to work even less this week? So as I set up Robo-James with some discussion topics for next week, I thought I'd throw the floor open to you, and see if there's anything you want to rap about, in binary code, with my android semblable. Robo-James awaits your commands!
