Android Espresso Machine Interface - June 14th, 2010

Appresso Machine

Appresso Machine

Here is a mash-up of functions you never knew you needed. It brings a new salience to the multi-function device. Drop your Android phone into this espresso machine/speaker system and listen to your music while your coffee brews and your phone charges. Confused about where your coffee is sourced from? Don’t be. The QR codes on the coffee pods tell your phone everything it needs to know to display to you, the hapless Sal-of-today. The only thing missing is a function to tweet your behavior to your peeps

This thing makes coffee and spits out music. What more do you want? What more COULD you want? More? Alright well you’re in luck because this “Appresso” device does all that you want. It’s Android based. That means it’s amazing by itself. Then it makes coffee. Delicious coffee mmmm. It uses the Android technology to tell you info about the taste and scent of the coffee, then also reads QR-codes* from each coffee capsule, playing a specific song based on which pack you’ve scanned! My triple caffeinated cap plays Yanni in the morning.

Laser-etching LUCI on my laptop - December 10th, 2006

LUCI Logo Laser Etched on my Laptop

LUCI Logo Laser Etched on my Laptop

I blame it on decaffeinated coffee at the Pervasive PC meeting. If they didn’t work me so hard, I wouldn’t have gotten so delirious. They certainly shouldn’t have let me near the laser etcher in that state, with the associated side effects…

Back to work with my logo reaffixed.
