The Robot Blogathon Starts Up






Well, all you mechanically brained readers, our Robots in Film Blogathon has reached it's premiere date.  When you have your blog entry ready, post it and then notify either Hamlette or me and it will be added to the roster.  Hope all of you enjoyed the look into the realm of science fiction (or science, if by the time you are reading this sometime in the future, robots have become ubiquitous).

The Robots in Film Blogathon Roll Call:

 First on the block is my own entry on robots in the classic TV series "The Twilight Zone":

    1. Thanks for having me! By the way, it's just John V's Eclectic Avenue, no period after the V. The entries are great so far, including yours on The Twilight Zone!

    2. Sorry. I often get the same problem. It's "Midnite" but some people have an apparent aversion to alternate spellings and write it as "Midnight".

I'm pretty liberal about freedom of speech, but if you try to use this blog to sell something it will be deleted.
