Not yet obsessing about the Roomba Scuba. Actually their internet ads are showing up on almost every screen of mine. I am spending more and more time thinking about how cool it would be to have clean floors more often. Every time I walk around the house, I come to one of the the floors that would require mopping. In my mind I am now thinking of every floor the Roomba Scuba could do for me. I picture them gleaming every other day. I feel a sense of relief as I imagine my little moppy-friend taking over a chore that for me, is one of my many challenges in life. I become lighter. Then I come out of my reverie.
It cost too much for our budget. But it says it preps the floor too. WHAAAAT? I must have it.
Later, back on-line, I am noticing the ads more often. It’s like it’s calling out to me, “buy me, buy me”. It isn’t giving me time to consider the pros and cons, because of the bombardment of the promise it offers.
Keeping track of some spots, I have seen it many times on Facebook. Even in my email. It seems to be on every single web page now. It is stalking me.
Ok, now I am obsessing on it.

In absence of context, the level of ambiguity is naturally proportional to the relative perspective of the receiver.

The Frog Reviews Bing As A Homepage
First of all, I really enjoy seeing an amazing photo first thing online. Today's was extraordinarily amazing. Brilliant yellows and golds, contrasted by the darkness of space. Io. I have never heard of it and that's what makes having Bing as my homepage such an informational delight.
One great image, chosen for the day. I try to guess what it is or what it's all about. People, places, flora and fauna. The colors are always incredible. Then there are 4 hidden boxes that provide a clue, a question, and a link. From there you could end-up at an article full of details about the selection. Or, you could find loads of other pictures related to, or of the same celestial body, in this case.
It's an internet adventure, and I always learn something new. And by the way Io is one of Jupiter's moons.
