This was so cute, i like the little song he sings. My cat sat down in front of my computer and watched it with me (actually 3 whole videos of it) - so cute. (http://www.flickr.com/photos/jenguin/2619071780/)
Born and lived in Modesto until college (parents still live there).. and I agree. Sure I have some hometown pride here and there - mostly nostalgic memories (Roller King!) and such.. but.. yeah, not worth moving back to settle down - no where to work unless it's the mall or a field.
Fun in theory - however if you use this as a true welcome mat, after awhile they get quite dirty... do you really want to be handling them after awhile? Ick.
Echoing TwoDragons - I too have been waiting for several years for these to come out. Each year they change their "coming soon, 200X" notice. They've got everyone excited - they'll sell like hotcakes that's for sure.
See for a second there I though it was some nifty little patch you put on your skin - so then I thought.. ooh.. get a bunch and put them all over and you'll have one helluva Halloween costume! But alas it is a machine. Still very cool!
yuck. but um, yay art and all that.
