Ha, Katy!  I almost linked this for Mathieu myself!  Great minds  
think alike, I guess ;-)

(I actually am familiar with the guy who wrote it.  I don't know him  
off-line, but we both frequent Worth1000.com and I've come to know  
him and his work. He's a great guy - very funny and smart.)

Mathieu - have you explored the possibility of using something  
unusual in that plastic orb, in lieu of the more cliched organic  
brain?  Smoke and lights? Plasma/crystal ball/magic 8 ball? Lava  
lamp?  I dunno - if the face is all cyborg-y and expressionless,  
maybe what 's going on in the cranium could somehow be expressive?   
Kind of like a cranial mood ring...

Just "brain-storming" here.  Nyuk nyuk.

Anne
