I was up at 4 am this morning to catch an early flight for LAX. I arrived at iRobot’s Pasadena office by 11:30 and joined my boss for lunch. When I arrived at my hotel later in the day, I found the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile parked at the entrance (with a valet tag under the windshield wiper) of the Pasadena Hilton. No matter how sophisticated, every guest entering or leaving the hotel had to stop for a picture. There are currently six active full-size Wienermobiles, each assigned a part of the country. The “hotdogger” position of driving the Wienermobile is open to U.S. citizens, and the job lasts from the first of June until the following first of June. Only college seniors who are about to graduate are eligible.
