digital pets

even thought i cant work on a cool idea, i can still blog about it. remember the gumstix I posted about? That'd be a great platform for a digital pet to live on. The next generation tamagochi. I think many people will become facinated with the idea of software that acting like a living thing and can interact like a living thing. I suppose its all be foretold in sci-fi books. We'll have pet robots not just for fun, but for work too. Dozens of them. Home maintenance, yard maintenance, car maintenance (the way R2D2 took care of Luke's X-Wing), companionship, monitoring. At some point moral dilemas will arrise about the rights of these "beings".

i have to be aware of the reasoning behind some of these ideas. this morning was upsetting because of my brother being loud. did i mention its been two years at klickitat? dont get me started on living in a disfunctional envorinment.
