Lesson 123:
2010 marked the 90th year for the robot. When we really think of the history, the scope of mankind, everything that we have done, robots are nothing. A blip. I'm not even talking about the first actual robot here. I'm talking about the word. People have only known this word for 90 years!
Lesson 122:
According to The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers there are currently around 6.5 million robots in the world.And new smart shiny robots are being designed everyday(except for designated days off).This should be frightening when many robots have 10 times the strength of a human.As of today there are over 6,818,100,000 people on this planet.We need to take care.1 robot for every 1,049 humans
Friday, April 30, 2010
This is the last big big post after this it will be one lesson per day 90-121:
Lesson 90: Get out of the house and do something for spring break. We can't just sit around with a robotic "heart" and mind and stay around tech all day. Go do something now!!
Lesson 91:Trying to think up something for lesson 100. But do numbers like these really matter? Maybe every number should be important and we need to celebrate all of them. Or none of them. I guess its up to you. Choice is a good thing.
Lesson 92: I don't like hearing the word "them" when referring to other groups of humans. To separate and discriminate changes us in horrible ways. Lets try to be best that we can.
Lesson 93: Fear. Fear can be a healthy protective instinct. But fear can inhibit and cause people to hate because they don't understand. Sometimes we need to shed our fears and try to learn. As I have said before Ignorance is a tool of the Horde. Love may be the the only thing that can fix it. Or at the very least understanding.
Lesson 94: Be well.
Lesson 95: Yesterday in Osaka scientists unveiled a robot that can smile and laugh. I think we should be better at this than any robot. We must not allow the Horde to take anymore from us than they already do. Smile everyday and find something to laugh at.
Lesson 96: In Thailand a robot ninja has bee designed to deliver food in a restaurant. I always thought there were some jobs that were protected from robots. Now the Horde I taking our livelihood. Shame on them.
Lesson 97: After hours of Murder She Wrote and Columbo I have learned somethings about myself. If I find a body I will not be the one trying to find the murderer. I will be the one running away so I don't die. Maybe. We never know how we will react to danger. I would like to hope that I will be helpful, but I don't think so. I am saving all my energy to defeat the Horde.
Lesson 98: Ever forget something important because other important things got in the way? It's alright it happens. In other news it seems robot video games are on the rise. Let just use common sense people. Its all fun and games until you are destroyed by the Horde.
Lesson 99: In the form of a question: Who is more important, the person in charge or the person who is right?
Lesson 100: The ability to love is one of the most important and amazing things in this world. To be able to care and love others is astounding. This is something to treasure and grow and pass on. Tell someone that you love them today and everyday. And then show it.
Lesson 101: The number 101 is often associated with an intro or beginners class. Lesson 101 then is Intro to Fighting the Horde. Find joy, Love others, Learn new things, See and accept differences, and Fight to protect all of this. Also the number 101 is associated with Dalmatians, but this really doesn't have anything to do with fighting the Robot Horde.
Lesson 102: In Madrid a bank has introduced sleek red "sexy" robots to take customers to their destinations. Are we as people so inept that we can't even walk to a location without escort? Are we all children compared to the almighty brain and power of the Horde? In case you didn't know the answer is no.
Lesson 103: No internet all day yesterday taught me patience. Think of how I had to write two lessons today, well okay no big. The Lesson for yesterday is lets try not to be jerks. I don't think that is hard thing to do and yet there are a lot of jerks out there. If you are dong something jerky try stopping for a day and see what happens. I will do the same.
Lesson 104: If a man or woman come up to you and says the are from a dystopian future where The Horde has won and humans are all dying off, why not give them the benefit of the doubt? It will save a lot of time in the long run if they are telling the truth.
Lesson 105:I read an article about ethics changing due to the introduction of robots in warfare.I think that with the removal of emotions the only purpose of war for a robot is to kill.Then you don't have robo-soldiers,you have killing machines.That is what they will do.They won't stop.The creation of something thats sole purpose is to bring death(not protect)other people.There is something about that that bothers me.
Lesson 106:The lesson for today is in form of another question: Why NASA Is Sending a Robot to Space That Looks Like You?Now from first glance I would say"Where did they get the rights to my likeness?"It appears that the human form can build up more synergy than the non human form robots,making it a better explorer.I say awesome,we need to start doing more with our human form. But after my nap.
Lesson 107: Find the joy in the mundane. Going shopping to get a lawn mower and other yard stuff may not sound super exciting but wait until my yard is ready for the summer!!! It may seem delusional but sometimes a little is not that bad. And I'm not talking about the Horde. We all know what's going on with that. Once my yard is done(ish) we can have lots of robot awareness parties!
Lesson 108: My email was hacked for the first time ever. I'm not sure how it was but I believe the Horde is trying to send annoying and harmful emails to my friends and family so they won't trust me anymore. Please trust that I will do my best to keep sending these lessons and that I only mean to help you all.
Lesson 109: A lesson I will try my hardest to follow. Try new things. It is always a good idea to try something new. You may just like it. We tell this to children and often fail to follow it ourselves. So try something new everyday. It could be food or a book or even a new idea. And remember you might not like it. And that's okay. We learn from this. And it will make us more than we are. And better.
Lesson 110: Very binary so all I will say is this. Safety people. Watch for danger. But don't forget that life has wonders. Say nothing of the Horde this day.
Lesson 111: Joe Nedney, a placekicker for the San Francisco 49ers beat a robot in a field-goal kicking competition. Because of the binary nature of the lesson number that is all I will say.
Lesson 112: Do a kind deed for another person. tell them something nice about themselves. Do a favor. If something was done for you pass it on. Its like Pay It Forward. But without the sad ending. When we take care of others, we are really taking care of ourselves. And that puts us one step toward defeating the Horde.
lesson 113: A day of firsts. Elizabeth's first class birthday. And I heard a song called Alejandro for the first time. I now understand jokes made referring to the song. Its nice to have firsts. I can't wait to find out wait new firsts will happen tomorrow. Perhaps the first hard strike against the Robot Horde.
Lesson 114:The birthday of my youngest is today,I can't help but be sad about it.She isn't a baby.It makes me think of loss.But I am gaining a pretty little girl who can talk and has her own views.And loves to dance.And wants to be a ballerina when she grows up. And go into outer space.Hug a baby or a kid today, it will make you think of the future.Just make sure it's your kid or you have permission from the parents.
Lesson 115:I was reading the news on robots and saw that mind controlled robots are being developed. I can't help but think, REALLY? I mean come on! There really isn't anything else that can be said. Except this: "A door, once opened, may be stepped through in either direction."
Lesson 116: Find the time. Before there isn't any left. I heard this saying " S/he has all the time is the world." Its probably because they took it from you. Find your time and take it back. Most likely the Horde has plans to take all of our time and fill it up with useless stuff. Like reality television.
Lesson 117:Patience.I just watched part 1 of an episode of Doctor Who.Won't find out for a week what happens.Sometimes even if we want it now we have to wait.And that is just that.Sometimes good things come to those who wait.The creation of short cuts can be great.But sometimes it ruins the surprise."Spoilers".Building tech to shorten the wait sounds like a good idea but sometimes things take awhile for a reason.
Lesson 118: The weather outside is making the kids sad. They want to run and jump and play. It makes me sad too because they are doing it inside. Sometime quiet time is a nice thing to contemplate stuff. Like how jobs are being created for robots, but not people. Like no matter how many warnings there are people will still create stronger faster and smarter robots.
lesson 119: Sometimes as adults we don't listen to our own rules and advise. I am not speaking of anything so bad as welcoming the Horde into my home or anything. I was running in my home to go wash the garlic smell of dinner off of my hands when I tripped over a very small plastic step stool. I smacked my foot and the plastic on the stool cut my toe. I felt dumb. Listen to your own rules.
Lesson 120: Did you know that there are theoretic instructions on how to build an Artificial Intelligence on the internet? That is crazy!! I mean really! Sometimes an idea needs to just stay an idea.
Lesson 121: You know what can be disheartening? That in a general sense robots ARE faster and smarter than us. But thats only because we make them that way. We need to work on making ourselves smarter and faster or we will end up like those people on WALL-E.
Lessons for the upcoming robot invasion 64-89
This is the second post for the robot lessons next up will be 90-121:
Lesson 65: Why is it that if you call two different places for the same service you get two completely different prices? The answer is the Horde is controlling certain companies and hiking up prices to drive them into the ground.
Lesson 66: A day with the family. A day with friends. This is something that is important. A robot has no friends and no family. A human needs companionship and people around them. Be around someone you love or like everyday. Talk to them, have lunch or dinner, enjoy company. Only by being around people can you see what the Horde really is. Loneliness, hate ,and destruction.
Lesson 67: I have been enjoying Netflix instantly and my AppleTV and watching classics such as chicken little and The princess and the frog, and many many other lovely television programs. The lesson for today is "Dance your cares away,(clap, clap) worry for another day, Let the music play!" Finish that tune. Enjoy this day. Find some sun and stay away from robots.
Lesson 68: Lunch at my daughter's school makes me think of how I love my baby girl. See I don't really like kids(I love mine, and also I love babies). Kids seem to like me though so it is ok. Robots don't understand children. They don't understand the need for play. They will never understand a person going into a place they can't stand for the love of their child. I almost feel sorry for them.
Lesson 69:A good friend told me not to get my hopes up about the weather and she was right. So todays lesson is to have realistic expectations. It can't be all sunshine and roses everyday. And you can't beat the Horde at their every turn. I mean come on, they're ROBOTS! All we can do is try. And don't get down when it snows on a spring-ish day or things don't work out. Enjoy your day and have a little fun today.
Lesson 70: To judge a person by how they look or what you have heard of them is a robotic way of thinking. Stop it.
Lessons 71:Today is what is referred to as a busy day. Lots to do and I will not be relying on robots to make my day go easier. Patent teacher conferences and what not to do. I read that in Tsukuba, Japan engineers have made a robot baby named Yotaro to train people on how to care for a baby. I really don't know what to say that I haven't already.
lesson 72: Time wasters. we all have things in life that prevent us from doing important things. Try to limit the time you use these time wasting things. Save some time for fighting the Horde.
Lesson 73: There is nothing wrong with sitting around and thinking up ways to defeat the Horde. Some people may say you are day dreaming. We need to feel sorry for them.
Lesson 74: Obligations can lead to rewards. Example: You have an obligation to defeat the Horde, the reward for such will be a world where your children will be safe(at least from robots, we still have a lot of work to do on ourselves). Also I read in the Baltimore Sun that people are getting high schoolers to build robots. When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn.
Lesson 75: Sometimes we have to do things that will cause us to be slightly unhappy for a short period so that later we can be happy. I stayed up late to read my husbands new play that he finished. Now I am very tired and have to get my daughter on the school bus. But I read the play and it was great! The fight against the Horde may be hard and it may be difficult but in the end the robots will lose.
Lesson 76: My voice decided to go on a hike without me and is now lost. Sometimes things have to be lost to be found. Things are in the last place you look. Well, of course. Todays lesson is about stupid things. Sometimes its best to say nothing rather than something stupid. Example: If a robot asks you about your friends and family and whether they like or hate robots, it might be best to say nothing.
Lesson 77: Spent the whole day on the couch. Not fun. Lots of water. Lots of thoughts to destroy the Horde. Perhaps looking into how many robots to humans in the world. Also include robot to human strength ratio. Maybe important.
lesson 78: I have been telling my kids and maybe the whole world should know this too. Use your words. We don't know how you are feeling or why. Start listening people. We have robots that are teaching english in Korea. And we can't seem to use our words with each other.
Lesson 79:Some people may be slow or have just become friends with me. They may ask "Is Maia obsessed with robots, there is some thing new about them everyday?". As this is Lesson 79 all I can say is look back. That is the lesson for today.Look back and gather all the info you can.Then ask questions. By the way did you know that if you type"robot"in google the first thing that pops up is a build your own robot kits?
Lesson 80:I could have sworn that I already wrote this one but I have been really sick: You can't be too sure. As in you can't be too sure that you have done all that needs to be done to hold the Horde at bay. Have you told everyone? Even the ones who will think you are crazy? In cases like these it not so bad to say "I told you so". You may feel good. And isn't that what its all about? No wait. Its about defeating the Horde.
lesson 81: Sometimes when you are trapped in the house for one reason or another you need to try to do something constructive. I will be dreaming of ways to destroy robots while I sleep and heal up.
Lesson 82: Had two sick kids home with me and put the 6 year old to work on the Horde issue. He believes only a Ninja/Kung-fu master will be able to do this. Children really are the future. Also if you all get a spare moment why not listen to a podcast by David Mills-Low. It doesn't have anything to do with robots but there is nothing wrong with taking a small break.
Lesson 83: I enjoy cooking and entertaining people. It makes me feel more human. I enjoy spending time on the phone with friends and watching tv with my family and playing video games. The ability to enjoy. It is something to savor and spread. One thing I also enjoy doing is spreading the word that the Horde is on it way. Find something you enjoy. Also enjoy this movie I will post after this lesson.
Lesson 84:Awhile back I named a few robots that are trustworthy.I forgot one. K-9 from Doctor Who.K-9 is a dog and there for has loyalty programed into him and a will to sacrifice himself for others.When you think about it all the robots that are mentioned have been willing to sacrifice themselves for others and are treated with great respect and affection by humans. Maybe you give what you get.
Lesson 85: I am in a mood today for no real reason. But as a human it is my right and duty to be in this mood and act slightly sullen for towards no one in particular. Remember your humanity and it may save you from mindlessly fighting the Horde only to become a robot yourself in the end.
Lesson 86:For some reason I am thinking that people do not take me as seriously anymore.If they ever did.Even if you don't believe that robots are ready to destroy us all, believe that to live life and enjoy it is an important thing. To treat people well, to love your families and to learn to have fun are vital things that we have lost. Stop taking yourself so seriously. I'm ok with it. Life is hard enough as it is. Relax.
Lesson 87: Nostalgia. I've been enjoying my Netflix instant to watch old shows that I enjoyed as a kid and to share them with my kids. Its kinda a hit or miss thing. Sometimes I get a look that says"you liked this?" and sometimes they act they are the one who discovered Fraggle Rock. Sharing memories is a great thing. Like the memory of defeating the Horde one day.
Lesson 88: It has been said that adversity only makes you stronger. On the other hand fortune breeds laziness and weakness. I don't believe this. When things are going well for you that means that if you work at being stronger and better at something then it should go well for you, right?
Lesson 89: The long lost. Its great to see(or in the facebook sense "see") an old friend. I would like to say hello to these long lost(to me at least) friends. Here is to a revitalized relationship. To all my friends and comrades. Sure you may think its funny to say you are with the robots but one day there will be a choice, and I truly hope you are not caught on the wrong side.
Lessons for the upcoming robot invasion By Maia Mills-Low
I am posting in three blogs what I have done for this year so far. Starting on January 1st I have written 1 lesson per day omitting lesson 2 and skipping to 3 as robots are linear and cannot skip numbers. This is the 1st post lessons 1-63:
Happy new year people! Just remember 2010 is the year our robot overlords will take power. Hail to our new Robot Masters!!!
Lesson 1: If you are planning a rebellion against our new Robot Masters it is best to pretend as though you are not. Robots do not understand deception so this is always a good tactic.
Lesson 3: Pretending that the robots have not taken over the world does not make it so. Sorry.
Lesson 4: Accusing your friends and family of being robots will only cause decent in our own camp. This time above all times we must trust one another. Anyway the robots have not been in power long enough to create androids.
Lesson 5: Life goes on. We mustn't forget this while we battle the robot hordes(and by battle I mean welcome). Life your life, go shopping, love your kids and your family, go to work. Or not.
Lesson 6: You may have heard the motto "constant vigilance", in the case of the robot horde this is not necessary. Robots will live forever. That means most of their plans are in the long term. You may have noticed the "most of the time". We will, at one time or another, find the occasional robot or stray program that will jump the gun. So I think our motto will be "occasional vigilance". OCCASIONAL VIGILANCE PEOPLE!!
lesson 7: Let us not forget the words of the wise ones and start programming the Asimov Robotic Laws into robots while we still can. It may be possible to put a temporary hold and the robot invasion. Maybe we can learn something from sci fi. So on this day when the roads are all ice, stay in and watch old movies and read sci fi anthologies and comics. And remember OCCASIONAL VIGILANCE.
Lesson 8: It is cold outside, like the heart of a robot. Lets not forget to love each other and feel feelings and stuff. Don't forget there are lots of things that we can do that robots can't. Like eat and dream and cry and freeze outside. It's why robots are taking over the world. They want to be us, but they hate us too.
Lesson 9: People seem to be forgetting the difference between robots and androids. An android is a complete human replica and therefore will have emotions of some sort and perhaps even dream. This is NOT what we are dealing with. Robots have no feelings and only exist to destroy freedom and annihilate human beings. Androids are the robot weapon against us. By humanizing themselves we feel compassion for them.
Lesson 1: If you are planning a rebellion against our new Robot Masters it is best to pretend as though you are not. Robots do not understand deception so this is always a good tactic.
Lesson 3: Pretending that the robots have not taken over the world does not make it so. Sorry.

This is NOT what we are dealing with. Robots have no feelings and only exist to destroy freedom and annihilate human beings. Androids are the robot weapon against us. By humanizing themselves we feel compassion for them.
Lesson 10: The media has been warning us about the dangers of Robots for years and we just called them crazy. Movies have been showing us worst case scenarios for years as well. We need to pay better attention to what people are trying to tell us. That is the lesson for today, listen and pay attention!
lesson 11: I have a headache today. I suspect the robots are trying to get at me for what I have been posting. For the upcoming week we will all be very busy. Don't forget to tell lots of jokes. People who don't laugh at your joke are trying to be like the robots. Or you're not funny.
Lesson 12: Hobbies. As in get one. Robots do not have hobbies, unless you count the destruction of mankind. If all you do is work, work, work then you will no better than the robots. Remember that.
Lesson 13: 1st scenario : You are at a dinner party and the topic turns to the on coming robot hordes. Now this is a mixed dinner party with friends and co-workers. At this time you should make witty jokes and voice that you have nothing against Robots. Robot sympathizers like to go to dinner parties, mostly for the free food(all they have to bring is bread or a cheap bottle of wine).
Lesson 14: Mornings, one of the many things a robot can not appreciate. The ability to wake up with hope for the day. Do not confuse sleep mode with actual sleep. Robots have no hope which is why they want to take ours away. Keeping hope in your hearts is one you can defeat the robots. If you wanted to defeat them.
Lesson 15: Having friends is a wonderful thing that a robot cannot understand. Robots have no loyalty except to their programming. These are the times to truly appreciate your friends and all that they have done. So go out with friends, sing some karaoke, have tea or coffee. Just talk. Avoid using computers to maintain friendships. This is the Robot's tool. Instead of MMORPG try getting together for a D&D game.
Lesson 16: Charity. To give to others. In times like these let us not forget others that are suffering in this world. Robots cannot understand the act of giving to others with no thought to ourselves. So think of others and give what you can.
Lesson 17: Weekends. People think weekends are for relaxation and contemplation. I would agree with this. What weekends have turned into is "extra time" to finish the stuff that didn't get done in the week. For a robot everyday is "extra time" to get more work done. Take some time to contemplate life, read a book, call a friend. One hour of relaxation is one hour taken from the Robot Horde.
Lesson 18: Now that we have thought about the things that continue to make us human lets not forget what makes a robot a robot. Also remember there are robot sympathizers that like to act like robots as well. We must help robot sympathizers see the way. Even though they may act to destroy us they are our brothers and sisters. Remember people OCCASIONAL VIGILANCE !
Lesson 20:On a day like today, when my furnace has stopped working(no worries it will get fixed),I like to think of the good things I do have in my life. Friends and family that I love and a rewarding role in a play, beautiful children that cannot imagine not having. For a robot these things are meaningless. A grateful day is a day taken from the horde. Also I was reading that Japanese company is developing a robot to assist the elderly. Shouldn’t we be assisting the elderly?
Lesson 21: Don't worry, just because you work on computers or develop new programs doesn't mean that you are a robot sympathizer. But be careful there is a company near Stanford that is giving away robots for R&D purposes. This is just a trick to get a robot in every business. Next they will be in every home. All I'm saying is to use common sense.
Lesson 22:Late night out and playing princess and I almost missed today's lesson. So today's lessons is about making time for the important things. Like playing princess with your daughter or watching that last episode that you missed. But don't forget the dangers lurking out there. The horde is out there, but I have found through my studies that they hate karaoke and other strange fun times. Watch your back friends.
Lesson 23:Today I was going to give a lesson in being grateful for what you get. Sometimes its not exactly what you want but you can find the good in it anyway. People who are not happy with what they get stop getting things. I was pointed toward National Geographic and saw that researchers at MIT have made robotic fish. So now the Horde is trying to replace our animals. All I can say is robot sushi doesn't sound too good.
Lesson 24: Not a lot of time to write something meaningful and witty. Today I wanted to discuss food. Contrary to popular belief robots do NOT eat in a conventional sense. Not oil or alcohol. The only thing a robot can ingest is power. As Jimi Hendrix said "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.”
Lesson 25: When walking down the street there is no need to yell about how much you may hate or love the robot horde. A t-shirt will suffice.
Lesson 26: I have a crazy cold and think I will rest most of today. Even if I can't do much today I will still be able to think on what to do to battle the horde. May bi annual meetings with the resistance. I mean we all have things to do and twice a year seems like enough. The robots have forever and I'm thinking a generational resistance may be the way to go.
Lesson 27:I hate to say it there may be a thing or two to learn from the Robot Horde. Patience is one of them. A robot can live forever so they have all the time in the world. We need to learn to wait for things, not be in such a hurry. When you hurry you miss stuff. Ever been in a rush to make something for a meeting and then run out of the house get all the way there and remember that you left it on the table at home?
Lesson 28: It is getting more difficult to think of lessons. Although that may just be my cold talking. Conformity, to be like everyone else. Well everyone else is ignoring the threat that robots are. Everyone else will become slaves to the cold steel(or whatever alloy) emotionless brain of the Horde. Not so good to be like everyone huh?
Lesson 29:Nanotechnology.Nanotech is something to really worry about. You can't see it since it deals with structures of the size 100 nanometers or smaller. I sometimes wonder why people think smaller is better. I think smaller is more dangerous. Because we can't watch out for it. I think that the H1N1 was in fact an experiment in nanotechnology. Which means we have to fight it within our own bodies. Be careful folks.
Lesson 30: Toy robots may seem to be all fun and games, because that is what they are. They are in fact harmless. In a way. They do teach our children that robots are cool and it would be awesome to build one. If we tell the kids to not build robots then we will have kids getting together in basements and trading robot arms on the street. Love and support is all we can give kids. And Destruction of the Horde.
Lesson 31: I would say that tax preparation was invented by robots but really this is torture we have made for ourselves. Sorta like robots. I think we need to stop punishing ourselves. We're not so bad. For the most part. Kinda. Sometimes.
Lesson 32: This being strike night for the play, I think we should think about taking things down and rebuilding. Sometime it is necessary to destroy something to save it. Like Robots...
Lesson 33: A time for newness. I watched a movie about a cop in the near future with marriage problems stemming from the loss of his cute little boy who has to fight technology so that people and society as a whole will grow. No not that one, the other one. Not that one either. Time for a new formula. Imagination is one thing we have up on The Horde. Let's use it please.
Lesson 34: Plans are a good thing. Sometimes we just have to get things done you know? Like making menus and cleaning the house. Or Destroying the Horde.
Lesson 35: I am feeling discouraged at the moment. I just need things to work out the way they should. But the world does not work that way. A robot tries to control everything and all outcomes. I can not. I am not a robot and that is okay with me.
Lesson 36: Adversity. We need to work hard for things in life or apparently it’s not worth it. Although I think if someone gave me 5 million dollars I didn't earn I would be okay with it. Buffy Summers said " The hardest thing in this world is to live in it.". I'll agree with that. Buffy was never a fan of robots. Especially robots who dated her Mom, or tried to be her. I think we need a robot slayer. Blade Runner?
Lesson 37: Busy day today, and yet not much got done. I am thinking that Microsoft is run by robots and Nintendo by soft hearted pokemon type creatures because a Wii has built in wireless networking while an Xbox 360 does not and you have to go buy one which is lame. Not sure where the lesson is but there you go.
Lesson 38: Obsession. You would think that a robots doesn't obsess about things. No addiction, no customs, no compulsions. But a robot is really an all or nothing kind of thing. When created they will serve the horde completely and there really isn't a question of not doing so. I think maybe sometimes we do have things in common.
Lesson 39: Competition. this being a day where people are really thinking about who's team is the best and all, I have to say this can be healthy. A robot doesn't compete because there is no ego. Some robots are better and that’s that. All I can say is GO WHICHEVER TEAM IS BETTER!! and of course OCCASIONAL VIGILANCE!!
Lesson 40:It has been proven that my daughter is not a robot. One day I caught her saying "I-am-a-robot" and I was a little worried. But I took her to the doctor because she wasn't feeling well and they told me she has an ear infection. Well robots don't get ear infections because they don't have ears! But poor baby girl. A couple days ago she told me that robots are creepy so that's good. Kids experiment with wacky things
Lesson 41:There are only 3 robots that can be thought upon in a favorable way in the movies and these robots are in no particular order other than how I am typing: SAINT Number 5 aka Johnny 5 from Short Circuit ,WALL-E and R2-D2(I don't like C3-PO because he is snooty and tries too hard to be a person).Be careful around this kind of pro-robot propaganda. Robots are not our friends and do not want what is best for us. Also I did not include androids or cyborgs to this list.
Lesson 42: Preparation. We must be prepared for all things. Well most things anyway. The horde will wait for the right time but we must all be ready. Don't forget to warn your friends and family about the horde. There are no shelters that a robot can not break though so don't think going into hiding will help. Keep going to school and work and teach the children and stuff. When they strike we will be ready. I hope.
Lesson 43: Birthdays. Really one that I am thinking about. Always take time to acknowledge each year. Robots don't age, therefore they don't grow. They can never be more than what they were when created. But we can. And we should.
Lesson 44: Parties and the need to celebrate are important to people. Robots do not celebrate anything for they have no joy in life(because they have no life). Celebrate life and enjoy time with friends and family. There can be no better time had than with the ones you love. A robot will never understand this and so it is something we can use against them.
Lesson 45:Technology.Here's the thing. I like tech. I love my computer and my game consoles. I love my phone, and going to electronic stores and looking around and pushing buttons. But tech is like candy, too much, too big and its not as good anymore. You may think "I know, I will make the largest, sweetest piece of candy ever thought of!" But all you get is a tummy ache in the end. I don't really like candy all that much.
Lesson 46:Love.As a robot cannot love, has no loyalty, and cannot have a family, they can never understand the drive that brings us together. Sure we like to be alone once in awhile, but not today, which I think kinda sucks. Remember that you are loved, if not by anyone you can think of, then by me. To me you are not just another ally against the Horde, you are my friend and my family. Thank you for yourself.
Lesson 47:Sleepy no school day spent with friends and family. I was reminded that children are completely insane and in no way resemble robots. Perhaps we should take a lesson from them and remember that fun can be had in the smallest of things.
Lesson 48: Children are full of germs and gross and occasionally just nasty. That said I love mine. Even though I feel like I have had a continual cold for a month. Treasure the next generation. It will be them that will make sure that the Horde never returns. You know, after we defeat them. Unless its the children who defeat them and then it will be our grandchildren who will keep the Horde from returning. Whichever.
Lesson 49: The robots will always try to find something to make you feel like you can't do anything right. They will find ways of getting you down. Like the stomach flu.
Lesson 51:I've been wondering how many people are actually reading this. Don’t forget to tell your family to keep their electronics in their place. Sure having your floor vacuum itself is cool but what happens when it doesn't want to do that anymore. Or when it need an "update" off of the computer? Just be careful. Convenience is great, but being alive means hard work. That means you may have to vacuum the floor yourself.
Lesson 52: I skipped a day and didn't realize it. So 2 today. To a robot there is no difference between one human and the next. In the end they want to destroy us all. We are all doing a good job at helping them out. We need to find peace within ourselves so we can destroy the horde once and for all.
Lesson 53: I made a banana cream pie. It was fun. Now I will make some chicken salad for dinner. Take that robots!
Lesson 54: I look out into my yard on this sunny but cold day and I can't help but think about all the work that needs to be done to be ready for spring and summer. Plan ahead. A robot will always be calculating and think of new ways to conquer our world. By planning ahead we maybe able to defeat them before some plan go in motion. Putting it off until later will only cause the horde to defeat us.
Lesson 55: Have to. This is a robots existence everyday. To a human have to has become something that people live with everyday as well. We need to separate ourselves from robots, make ourselves different. We need more want to's. Do something you want to do but don't have to everyday. It maybe small or big but it will make you, you. Only by being as human as we can can we possibly strike back at the Horde.
Lesson 56:I like to take naps.Sleep can be more fun than people think.There is no reason the necessities like sleep and food have to be boring.Sleep can be fun,even small naps and food can be fun too, even if you are eating well.A robot does not know the meaning of fun and will only do things because it is programmed.Find fun in the little necessities in life and you can find just little happy every little thing.
Lesson 57:It's alway good to have something that you do everyday.I always write one robotic lesson each day.It makes me feel that I have done something worthwhile.Which is all relative. The word worthwhile I mean.To a robot it is worthwhile to compute the demise of humans.It can be making dinner or getting laundry done.Or its making that call you didn't make yesterday.Only you can say what is worthwhile to you.
Lesson 58:There are times,when faced with a decision I choose nothing.Too many things to do and too many people to disappoint.Sometimes a choice has to be made.And sometimes the answer is"not today possibly tomorrow".So I will not defeat the horde today I have to go grocery shopping and run errands,possibly tomorrow I will have time to find the horde's hideout to plan their demise. Then again maybe not tomorrow.
Lesson 59: This is a little late but somethings can wait on a busy Saturday. Kids cooking running here and there, company, then lesson. So, somethings can wait. Not the destruction of the horde but other things can wait.
Lesson 60: well 6-0 lessons(really if you have been paying attention its 5-9 but whatever)I am pro-human. That is not to mean that i am necessarily anti-robot. I am against killing people because of the inability or refusal to understand differences. If that means I'm not cool with robots well, I'm ok with that.
Lesson 61: It is said that doing the same thing over and over and expecting different result is the definition of insanity. What is it called when you are told what will happen and you do it anyway? Take note robot manufactures, slaves to the Horde, this is you.
Lesson 62: Its almost time for spring. It is a time of renewal and birth. This a thing a robot will never understand as they are manufactured and not born. They will never grow. We must welcome all the little ones. They will be taking care of us soon enough. And hopefully we can take care of the robots before then.
Lesson 63: Creativity. I taught myself how to create a ponytail holder thingy for my daughter by knitting stretchy yarn and it got me thinking about how robots don't create, they manufacture. A human can create so many things, in many ways. Plays, books, art, games, even other humans. Create something today. Embrace the differences from the Horde.
lesson 11: I have a headache today. I suspect the robots are trying to get at me for what I have been posting. For the upcoming week we will all be very busy. Don't forget to tell lots of jokes. People who don't laugh at your joke are trying to be like the robots. Or you're not funny.
Lesson 12: Hobbies. As in get one. Robots do not have hobbies, unless you count the destruction of mankind. If all you do is work, work, work then you will no better than the robots. Remember that.
Lesson 13: 1st scenario : You are at a dinner party and the topic turns to the on coming robot hordes. Now this is a mixed dinner party with friends and co-workers. At this time you should make witty jokes and voice that you have nothing against Robots. Robot sympathizers like to go to dinner parties, mostly for the free food(all they have to bring is bread or a cheap bottle of wine).
Lesson 14: Mornings, one of the many things a robot can not appreciate. The ability to wake up with hope for the day. Do not confuse sleep mode with actual sleep. Robots have no hope which is why they want to take ours away. Keeping hope in your hearts is one you can defeat the robots. If you wanted to defeat them.
Lesson 15: Having friends is a wonderful thing that a robot cannot understand. Robots have no loyalty except to their programming. These are the times to truly appreciate your friends and all that they have done. So go out with friends, sing some karaoke, have tea or coffee. Just talk. Avoid using computers to maintain friendships. This is the Robot's tool. Instead of MMORPG try getting together for a D&D game.
Lesson 16: Charity. To give to others. In times like these let us not forget others that are suffering in this world. Robots cannot understand the act of giving to others with no thought to ourselves. So think of others and give what you can.
Lesson 17: Weekends. People think weekends are for relaxation and contemplation. I would agree with this. What weekends have turned into is "extra time" to finish the stuff that didn't get done in the week. For a robot everyday is "extra time" to get more work done. Take some time to contemplate life, read a book, call a friend. One hour of relaxation is one hour taken from the Robot Horde.
Lesson 18: Now that we have thought about the things that continue to make us human lets not forget what makes a robot a robot. Also remember there are robot sympathizers that like to act like robots as well. We must help robot sympathizers see the way. Even though they may act to destroy us they are our brothers and sisters. Remember people OCCASIONAL VIGILANCE !
Lesson 20:On a day like today, when my furnace has stopped working(no worries it will get fixed),I like to think of the good things I do have in my life. Friends and family that I love and a rewarding role in a play, beautiful children that cannot imagine not having. For a robot these things are meaningless. A grateful day is a day taken from the horde. Also I was reading that Japanese company is developing a robot to assist the elderly. Shouldn’t we be assisting the elderly?
Lesson 21: Don't worry, just because you work on computers or develop new programs doesn't mean that you are a robot sympathizer. But be careful there is a company near Stanford that is giving away robots for R&D purposes. This is just a trick to get a robot in every business. Next they will be in every home. All I'm saying is to use common sense.
Lesson 22:Late night out and playing princess and I almost missed today's lesson. So today's lessons is about making time for the important things. Like playing princess with your daughter or watching that last episode that you missed. But don't forget the dangers lurking out there. The horde is out there, but I have found through my studies that they hate karaoke and other strange fun times. Watch your back friends.
Lesson 23:Today I was going to give a lesson in being grateful for what you get. Sometimes its not exactly what you want but you can find the good in it anyway. People who are not happy with what they get stop getting things. I was pointed toward National Geographic and saw that researchers at MIT have made robotic fish. So now the Horde is trying to replace our animals. All I can say is robot sushi doesn't sound too good.
Lesson 24: Not a lot of time to write something meaningful and witty. Today I wanted to discuss food. Contrary to popular belief robots do NOT eat in a conventional sense. Not oil or alcohol. The only thing a robot can ingest is power. As Jimi Hendrix said "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.”
Lesson 25: When walking down the street there is no need to yell about how much you may hate or love the robot horde. A t-shirt will suffice.
Lesson 26: I have a crazy cold and think I will rest most of today. Even if I can't do much today I will still be able to think on what to do to battle the horde. May bi annual meetings with the resistance. I mean we all have things to do and twice a year seems like enough. The robots have forever and I'm thinking a generational resistance may be the way to go.
Lesson 27:I hate to say it there may be a thing or two to learn from the Robot Horde. Patience is one of them. A robot can live forever so they have all the time in the world. We need to learn to wait for things, not be in such a hurry. When you hurry you miss stuff. Ever been in a rush to make something for a meeting and then run out of the house get all the way there and remember that you left it on the table at home?
Lesson 28: It is getting more difficult to think of lessons. Although that may just be my cold talking. Conformity, to be like everyone else. Well everyone else is ignoring the threat that robots are. Everyone else will become slaves to the cold steel(or whatever alloy) emotionless brain of the Horde. Not so good to be like everyone huh?
Lesson 29:Nanotechnology.Nanotech
Lesson 30: Toy robots may seem to be all fun and games, because that is what they are. They are in fact harmless. In a way. They do teach our children that robots are cool and it would be awesome to build one. If we tell the kids to not build robots then we will have kids getting together in basements and trading robot arms on the street. Love and support is all we can give kids. And Destruction of the Horde.
Lesson 31: I would say that tax preparation was invented by robots but really this is torture we have made for ourselves. Sorta like robots. I think we need to stop punishing ourselves. We're not so bad. For the most part. Kinda. Sometimes.
Lesson 32: This being strike night for the play, I think we should think about taking things down and rebuilding. Sometime it is necessary to destroy something to save it. Like Robots...
Lesson 33: A time for newness. I watched a movie about a cop in the near future with marriage problems stemming from the loss of his cute little boy who has to fight technology so that people and society as a whole will grow. No not that one, the other one. Not that one either. Time for a new formula. Imagination is one thing we have up on The Horde. Let's use it please.
Lesson 34: Plans are a good thing. Sometimes we just have to get things done you know? Like making menus and cleaning the house. Or Destroying the Horde.
Lesson 35: I am feeling discouraged at the moment. I just need things to work out the way they should. But the world does not work that way. A robot tries to control everything and all outcomes. I can not. I am not a robot and that is okay with me.
Lesson 36: Adversity. We need to work hard for things in life or apparently it’s not worth it. Although I think if someone gave me 5 million dollars I didn't earn I would be okay with it. Buffy Summers said " The hardest thing in this world is to live in it.". I'll agree with that. Buffy was never a fan of robots. Especially robots who dated her Mom, or tried to be her. I think we need a robot slayer. Blade Runner?
Lesson 37: Busy day today, and yet not much got done. I am thinking that Microsoft is run by robots and Nintendo by soft hearted pokemon type creatures because a Wii has built in wireless networking while an Xbox 360 does not and you have to go buy one which is lame. Not sure where the lesson is but there you go.
Lesson 38: Obsession. You would think that a robots doesn't obsess about things. No addiction, no customs, no compulsions. But a robot is really an all or nothing kind of thing. When created they will serve the horde completely and there really isn't a question of not doing so. I think maybe sometimes we do have things in common.
Lesson 39: Competition. this being a day where people are really thinking about who's team is the best and all, I have to say this can be healthy. A robot doesn't compete because there is no ego. Some robots are better and that’s that. All I can say is GO WHICHEVER TEAM IS BETTER!! and of course OCCASIONAL VIGILANCE!!
Lesson 40:It has been proven that my daughter is not a robot. One day I caught her saying "I-am-a-robot" and I was a little worried. But I took her to the doctor because she wasn't feeling well and they told me she has an ear infection. Well robots don't get ear infections because they don't have ears! But poor baby girl.
