Dance! Boogie!

Minifam picked me a present out herself this year, and I am shocked to say that it is the most awesome and adorable thing I have seen in a long time.

Have any of you ever seen an iDog? (I hadn't.) It's a tiny little AI that you can plug your iPod into. It will play it like a speaker and kinda headbang to it. It can also pick up environmental music and respond to it. The manual says that depending what you play, its personality will change, too. Hours of fun, says you? Damn straight, says I.

Mine is of course hot pink because it was a present from my little sister, but it's a pink I can tolerate (it actually looks like my last hair color.) I've named her Veronica, and started her out playing The Cranberries and the Dresden Dolls.

Well, I just checked her personality, and she played me a country riff.

Unfortunately, I'm not exactly sure how to punish a dancing speakerbot.
