I went home for the weekend to spend Easter and my birthday with my family. Check out the wicked iPad birthday cake I had! Woot! Pretty cool eh? Is this the first iPad cake on the internet?

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 ultrasonic 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:

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.

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.

I’m back in the blogosphere.
