Sounds great. Perhaps we can do a lunch or breakfast some time. I'm around most week days, let me know when you're about. And some point I should get your roomba back to you as well!

Thanks for posting this, Dwight... I borrowed this book from Genia some time ago and I haven't read it yet. You've inspired me to pick it up and make time for it - sounds like a good read! =)
