Printing on froth

I'm fascinated by the potential of print technology and a future where things (blobjects, spimes, ...) are constructed to order. I follow the Replicator blog ("Putting the Custom back in Customer") which covers this technology. It's just covered a repurposed inkjet which can print on froth - as found on the top of a glass of Guiness. Enjoy.

Coffee makers

I have a Google alert which looks for news on STMicroelectronics. Occasionally something strange turns up. In this case, a blog which apparently exists only to carry advertising. The ST item is odd but does reference a genuine ST web page about how to use ST's chips in a coffee maker.

I use coffee in my coffee maker.
