Toaster Note Pad
There seems to be something about toasters that makes industrial designers go crazy. I can’t count the number of beautiful, innovate, and usually totally impractical concepts for new toasters I’ve seen in the past few months, and here’s another to add to the pile.
Every family had to deal with the issue of communicating important notes between people of hectic and different schedules. Mom is off to work early, but the kids don’t wake up till noon. Hubby heads out early to play golf while the Mrs sleeps in. Sure, sticky notes and phone messages might work, but where’s the fun in that. Why not jot down a note on the top of your toaster, only to have it be burned into the toast of whoever comes to breakfast next.
While the technology behind the concept (designed by Sasha Tseng) is vague at best, I’d guess it uses metallic ink similar to those drawing boards for toddlers. Run a current through the drawing board, and the heat is concentrated wherever the ink is, creating a darker toast in the pattern of your choice. In any case, some pretty cool technology for a product that will unfortunately never see the light of day. [via]
That image is photoshopped. To get that level of detail without obscurity then the element would have to be pressed up against the bread for a precise time, esp not to burn it.
that’s awesome, I’d probably just end up drawing on it though lol

What happened to the flying toasters screensaver?
Hitsuji, don’t be retarded. Look at how heat works. Metal is more conductive then the rest. The METALLIC INK allows the heat to concentrate in that place and BURN it in. It won’t burn the tost because it it pinpointed and not spread!
