I was mistaken, but what I found is still worth checking out: the Printing Your Toast design. Conjured by designer Othmar Mühlebach, this concept is inspired by your ordinary printer at home or the office. You stack bread slices up on the top part of the printer – err, toaster – and once toasted, the slice will drop conveniently to a plate underneath. Just like “real” printers, the bread slices will be toasted (printed) one at a time.

In this year’s Berner Design Awards, the printer-toaster got the second prize. Judges described the design as aesthetically pleasing as well as interesting. I get the first adjective but the second is just way too bland for me. Interesting? Come on! I think they could have come up with a better word to describe the toaster.

Anyhow, I wouldn’t mind having one of these things. It does look different and will match my espresso machine. I also like the idea of not having to burn my fingers trying to get the toast out of my old fashioned toaster oven. What say you?

Oh no… I hope my uncle’s not reading this today because I’m sure he’d head on over to the nearest Office Depot to get this wireless printer! I’m not too sure what’s he got with printers that he always need to get the latest ones. I’ve been helping him out all week last week to install 2 fax/printer/copy/scanners by Canon. The first one on a wireless printer server via Net Gear and the other one taking an ethernet cable to his Dell True Mobile router.

He’s still to ask me to connect 2 laser printers for him next week, now this new printer comes out. I’m very sure once he get a sniff of it, he’ll get one and call on poor old me… again!

The new wireless printers are the CLX-3175FW, ML-1630W and SCX-4500W. All of them will come equipped with integrated 802.11b/g wireless connectivity, and they’ll also feature smart design that won’t take up much space wherever it is placed.

The Samsung CLX-3175FW, ML-1630W and SCX-4500W will retail for $642.99, $285.99 and $428.99, respectively, and are readily available for purchase if you’re thinking of upgrading that printer of yours.

You can get one right here.
