In my Boston Globe column today, I embrace the latest Roomba robot vacuum cleaner, and note the growth of a Middle Earth MMO. Both products are from Massachusetts-based companies.

Please take a moment to read the column, and comment at Boston.com!

Just in time for Great Depression 2.0:

Westwood-based Turbine (it’s at www.turbine.com) last week launched a game that will keep you busy for as long as you can keep the lights on.

The Lord of the Rings Online: Mines of Moria is the first expansion pack for Turbine’s massively multiplayer online game about hobbits, wizards, and whatnot.

LOTRO: Mines of Moria shows there is even more to Middle Earth than MMO players could have imagined.
