An amusing story went viral this past week from a guy whose dog left his “deposit” on the floor one evening and later, when this guy’s Roomba scooted around the apartment doing it’s vacuuming job, it smeared the deposit everywhere! This story was Phil’s “Cool Thing of the Week” and he links below to the original Facebook story so you can read this guy’s horrific account for yourself.
NOTE: Save for that one story, we take the ‘high road’ on the rest of the podcast and talk about important tech stuff. 😉
