Now imagine the same sort of arrangement only with Microsoft giving the instructions...

I have a bit of a temper if I am neglected..."</i> It's kind of eerie. Like Hal in 2001. I agree with QE… “little does he know… I have a bit of a temper if I am neglected…” It’s kind of eerie.

"This morning my owner didn't have her usual bagel. Instead she opted to insert two slices of multi-grain white into me and then, after I had toasted them to perfection, she liberally spread a copious amount of marmite all over them. I felt all warm and, pardon the pun, toasty." or "I'm a little concerned about Harry. These days he only seems to use my salad compartments to store cheap extra-strength lager and he only ever uses the meat shelf to store cold pizza. It's not been the same since Sarah left him. She used to really care about making sure the raw meats went on the correct shelf below the dairy goods. My light blew last week and he still hasn't bothered changing it so it's always dark when he opens my door. He had a cup of coffee this morning and used the milk. He looked so depressed that I didn't have the heart to tell him it had been there three weeks and had solidified." Lol!

I find it interesting from the perspective of an 'automated history'. Be interesting to combine the autoblog with more personalisation and maybe some timelines. Maybe one day there'll be an autoblog of all of the things you do.... now that would be scary. "About 5:15pm I looked up to find my occupant above me... unzipping his pants. Approximately 30 seconds later the steady stream began. I hate being a toilet." Ignoring the fact that it’s typically boring. I find it interesting from the perspective of an ‘automated history’.

It's the most pointless thing I think I've ever seen. I want to know who, exactly, would log onto a website and read the boring machine-like diary (it’s not a blog) of some random person’s Xbox.

The machine is quite eloquent, but I would be concerned by the needy and slightly neurotic tone. It's as though it might try and poison your PC, or knife you in your sleep if it caught you with another console. I took a look at one of the blogs.
