Can't get a man to make your coffee, get a robot!

Some tasks can feel so overbearing; washing dishes, vacuuming, making coffee....

Well here is a little buddy to help with at least one of those tasks- a small robot that makes coffee for you! This little manga inspired robot was created by a person in Japan who goes by the name of Clockwork who did a great job marrying cute with coffee.

If you want to get techincal and have an idea of what makes this robot run here is a tidbit. (And I won't lie...I have NO clue what it means, but it doesn't mean it's not important....I guess)

The robot is a reduced version of Kondo KHR-2HV and it uses 20 digial KRS-788HV servos plus one GWS-PICO-STD servo motor and they are all controlled by a PCB located in the head.

Wine + Chocolate = Happiness!

How could it not? And thanks to the Dove website, they've even paired wines with chocolate to get the best flavors and enjoyment out of the two when paired together. Here are some notations on what they feel is fitting:

DOVE® Silky Smooth Milk Chocolate with a Merlot or a Tawny Port. The Merlot adds a substance and body to each silky smooth taste, while the nutty Tawny Port brings out the creamy caramel flavor hidden in each bit e of DOVE® Milk Chocolate.

DOVE® Silky Smooth Dark Chocolate - With a subtle, fruity Ruby Port. The essence of a dark chocolate like DOVE® - with its notes of red fruit, plums, cherries and vanilla balances perfectly with a glass of sweet port.

Yellow Pages Booster Seat

Your kid still can't reach the top of the table yet? Don't spring for that fancy booster seat or high chair (Bloom high chair, anyone?) Instead go with tradition and grab the Yellow Pages!

Falling Leaves Cinnamon Martini

Here are the instructions on how to make!

4 ounces premium vodka
1 ounce Grand Marnier
2 ounces Goldshlager, refrigerated
2 cinnamon sticks
Ice

Combine the vodka and Grand Marnier in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake vigorously until ice cold. Strain into martini glasses and then add Goldshlager (we don't want to leave the gold in the cocktail shaker with the ice so we add it to the martinis after they are strained).

Garnish with cinnamon sticks. Serves two.
