Who knew robots had more dance moves than just “the robot”

Wednesday, August 25, 2010 @ 5:27 pm

Mary is a former competitive ballroom dancer who started a blog of daily dances, which you can check out over at The Freebox. When she and husband Mark purchased little Bell Howell, we had no idea he’d turn into such a dance superstar. We must say, he’s got some pretty great moves. Surely Mary taught him everything he knows, because he never danced like that for us!

Tracerlab sunning in Austria

Tracerlab sunning in Austria

After a long trip to Europe, Tracerlab arrived safely in Vienna. He and his new owners, Tine and Sebastian, took the afternoon off and enjoyed the sun while having some beer and motor oil, respectively. They plan to show him around Vienna in the coming days and say that he seems to like his new home already.

From Tine and Sebastian: “Thanks a lot! Tracerlab is the perfect match for us – he always seems to be in a good mood and already promised to help with our gardening.”

Let’s hope Tracerlab remembers to wear his sunblock.

Bart’s new adventure

Sunday, March 7, 2010 @ 5:24 pm

brothers Mirro and Bart

Bart was recently adopted by Pamela and Mike. He was welcomed eagerly by big brother Mirro and since Pamela’s father was a postal carrier, Bart felt right at home. Bart and Mirro have already compared their respective stamp and coin collections, and Mirro is saving any uncollectible coins to fund Bart’s dream of attending the Annual StampShow and Convention. In their spare time they debate algorithm characterizations and recreate scenes from Star Wars as C-3P0 and R2-D2.

Transformer’s first Christmas Down Under

Thursday, January 8, 2009 @ 9:59 pm

To celebrate the holidays, Transformer joined his new family in Australia for a lunch picnic in the rainforest. It was a cool place to spend a hot summer day.

He kicked things off by having a little bit too much Christmas cheer before lunch. He also enjoyed his most important role, guarding the loot.

To work off all the fruit mince pies, Transformer went on his first rainforest walk. He was one with nature, resting at the cool base of a giant, mossy fig tree. Along the path he collected leaves, one of his new Aussie hobbies. Transformer felt like he’d really opened his heart to the Australian bush, but of course he still misses home.

Special thanks to Adrienne Williams, Transformer’s new owner, for the photos and update.
