Wine Fogger


Saturday, June 23, 2007

My brain has turned to mush after listening to the host of some PBS show masturbate to wine for the whole afternoon. Just becasue it’s in HD is no longer an excuse for me to watch. Ugh. But it did get me thinking about an idea I had a while ago. The idea? The “Wine Fogger”.

It’s simple really. You place an active untrasonic transducer (like the one’s found in novelty fog machines) in the wine glass and it creates a wine fog. The idea is to aid connoisseurs with acquiring a wine’s nose, or smell. With the Wine Fogger you can really make sure that you are _really_ getting a good whiff. The Wine Fogger would also aid casual drinkers to really get the most out of their wine drinking experience.

~ You may have seen this before on my old MIT Media Lab Blog. I’m just re-publishing it here for convenience.

~ OK, here’s an update. I tried a makeshift version of the Wine Fogger. It does work, but needs some tweaking. Anyways, here is a picture of me “experimenting” with it:

BBQ Morgue

It is not uncommon to stumble across a graveyard of BBQs in London, Canada. Also as you can see, Canada is all about the propane.

Requim for Red Book?

I was just thinking; I can’t remember the last time I held a physical audio CD (Red Book Audio) in my hand. It’s not like I never encounter optical disks, it’s just that I never see any that contains Red Book audio. I typically encounter CDRW or DVDROM data disks, but even this is getting rare.

Just an observation.

This is the second logo design that Pat Giles made for me. Check out the first version here.

Designer LED Dress

Designer Hussein Chalayan (along with Swarovski) has created a dress bedazzled with LED lights. Adding a second diffusing layer of fabric over his interesting (some say sky-scraper like) pattern really evokes the whole cyberpunk theme. It will be interesting to see if this high-profile design can make the public accept electronics in designer clothes.

I have been working on a similar design (but with a twist) that I call kameraflage™. Learn more about it here soon.
