Breakfast news

A colleague blogged about this tonight, and it's weird enough for me to steal for myself.

This article from The Register describes a toaster that’s able to burn pretty much anything onto your morning slice, including the news. Called the Scan Toaster, it connects to a PC over USB and downloads everything from local weather conditions and the current time to the morning’s news headlines which it then toasts onto your bread.

Big question coming up: why??

The news or the weather? On your toast? Wow, The mind boggles on why anyone would want to do that.

haha, that's so neat! i have no doubt someone will find a way to put paid advertising on toast.

oh, i did a search online for others and stumbled across a cylon toaster that was specifically made for battlestar gallactica for Comic-Con this past July. cool stuff!

Nothing like "reading your toast" in the morning. "Honey, where's the morning paper"... "Oh I'm sorry, I ate it for breakfast!"
Lol.
