Last year I was laid up with double pneumonia for six weeks and if it hadn't been for telecommuting from my bed I'd have lost one very important contract. Taking things a step further, the PEBBLES project (Providing Education By Bringing Learning Environments to Students) in New York state have are helping hospitalised children keep up with their studies by using robot surrogates to attend classes.
Now if they could just develop an office model that can be delivered by taxi, I'd never have to change out of my pyjamas again.

Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
