Say Hi To Jeppe

Jeppe

This is Jeppe, a prototype communication robot from Nokia, that looks to be a sort of Ikea-ized version of the WowWee Rovio or the iRobot ConnectR. It’s not a new idea, but it is Finnish:

Yeah, that would totally match my Scandinavian Modern bedroom set.

On a personal note, I apologize again for the lack up updates. You can expect me to be back on a normal, nay, enhanced (!) posting schedule in a week or so. By then, either all of the grapes in California will have been harvested, or I’ll be dead. Meantime, if there’s anyone out there who is qualified to pilot a Cessna T182 and knows about multispectral remote sensing and GIS, I’d like to have a word with you…

Yup, the thing definitely looks like a skull, albeit a friendly, cartoon skull. I’m not sure what the fuss is about. Is it just a phone on wheels? Heh, wouldn’t that be hard to dial?
