Slow progress on the robot front

Stone: Japan's Love Affair with Androids - Newsweek Brad Stone - MSNBC.com

Hi Erin, nice to have u as a visitor. Wish you could help me with some of the black hole papers that are hard to understand (like Landsberg's recent one.)

You don't blog as such do u?

Is Frances particularly interested in robots, or Japan generally?
