Soggy Toast- September 29, 2005 Technology has finally Jumped the Shark: A quote from this BBC article (via Jason Kottke): A design student at Brunel University, UK, has developed a toaster that takes a meteorological information from the internet and then browns your bread with an image of what weather to expect on the way to work. The article has a picture of what Seattle toast looks like most of the time.http://blogs.msdn.com/markm247/archive/2005/09/29/475434.aspx LifeHacker- September 2, 2005 Insignificant given the hardships being endured in the south, but I've added Lifehacker to my RSSBandit feed list.
