    <h3>Why depressiveRobot?</h3>
    <p>
      You know <span typeof="Person"><a property="sameAs" target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvin_the_Paranoid_Android"><span property="name">Marvin the Paranoid Android</span></a></span> from <span typeof="Book"><a property="sameAs" target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hitchhiker's_Guide_to_the_Galaxy"><span property="name">The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy</span></a></span>? No?! Then go for a read. Or if you are more like me and too lazy to read a book, watch the amusing <span typeof="Movie"><a property="sameAs" target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hitchhiker's_Guide_to_the_Galaxy_(film)">movie</a></span>. However, his name is Marvin and mine too, so one thing led to another.
