If there's a little less action on metacool over the next few weeks, please accept this apology in advance.
You see, I just shipped the introductory version of my latest creation. She's really a beauty -- featuring, among other things:
- a complex, powerful, yet low-power consumption bio-computer running a self-teaching, open-source operating system
- a huge amount of information storage capacity -- won't run out for decades, hopefully even a century
- completely cradle-to-cradle in terms of production materials
- low mass -- all of this in a package only a few pounds heavier than a standard business laptop
Branding is still being developed and will be announced shortly. We're looking at a premium positioning that's unique without being too exotic.
Our growth plan includes the gradual addition of mobility, moving from a quadraped motive system to eventually a biped mode, which we feel strikes the right balance between traction and agility. We also expect to add advanced voice recognition, speech capabilities, and the ability to compose poetry and play the saxophone. I'll keep you posted.
But I'll be busy for the next few weeks.
Congratulation!
Best true geek father proclamation I've read so far :-D

Congrats on the new... uh, creation! It sounds like she's definitely one-of-a-kind and well worth many sleepless nights.

From the first drawings, it looks like a beautifully crafted piece of biomachinery.
Well done

Rejoicing with you! I'm a grandfather with my second grandchild on the way - I've found branding to be a wonderful challenge that extends way beyond the naming phase. Keep creating, Mike
