Drunken Robot

"What Shall We Do With a Drunken Robot" is a piece of fluff I created as part of a comprehensive strategy to procrastinate on my top priority (secret) project. My production values as a recording engineer are low, but I made the recording anyway, using the following musical instruments: banjo, synth, slide whistle, washing machine, and sundry percussion.

My dear friend Tony C. Smith of the StarShipSofa podcast liked my robot song well enough to include it in the latest SSS edition, which you must go download and listen to right now.

Tony efforts at promoting SF have resulted in their first physical artifact, a book anthologizing some of the best stories of the show. Here's the blurbage:
StarShipSofa Stories Volume 1 is only a few days away from going on sale. Here's a sneak preview of the cover art, designed by Skeet.

Skeet's brief was to create a picture that would pay homage to the 50s SF pulp magazines. I think he's produced an amazing piece of work.

Get ready for the 16th September when the book will be available to buy in print form. There will also be a new website and free eBook released on that day.

I hope you think it captures the style and feel of the SF Golden Years.

Thank you, it's very awesome story it might be very polite for students. For example last year when I had a difficult of time at the end of semester with a endless flow of academic assignments and homework, I had a wonderfull idea to buy it somewhere and than use online plagiarism. I was so bushed that I did not care for what can begin when my academic work was written by another person. To my greatest surprise, research paper was honest the price I paid for it. I was so contented with the quality and now everytime i use this service.

Your thanks. I also like the net surfer stealing. Several months ago I am very tired and use it. Now I have slept.
