"Zuse" news and stories

Inseq Design wants you to have fun with your food. To that end, they're working on a toaster that'll put old fashioned dot matrix images on your toast. Remember the old printers, or video games? Yeah, something like that.

This is just a prototype right now, and it's not available, but would you be interested in something like this? I can't imagine it being particularly useful. I also see the entertainment value not lasting very long. However, maybe you can judge for yourself with this video of how the toaster actually works. Now that's entertainment!

We love toast here at Slashfood, but we think that toast is a little more fun when you can customize it. We're not referring to whether you like your toast light or dark, with butter or with Nutella, but to actually using a design for the toast itself. So far, we have see snakes on toast, pop art on toast, love notes on toast and Disney characters. None of those can top the Zuse Toast Printer, though. This wall-mounted toaster can burn - by which we mean toast - any 12x12 px image onto your toast using "a technology similar to early matrix printers," working line by line until the image has been reproduced. The toaster comes with some images already uploaded, but it sounds as though you would be able to add your own to the image inventory, too.

I have no idea what that little cube guy under the toaster is supposed to be, but I can think of at least a few designs that would make my morning toast a little more interesting.
