Technology that was absolutely neccessary

I have to hand it to Bink, he can find a good story. You know how they say “Where there’s a will, there’s a way” - well apply that to a few German professors drinking out with their students and you come up with a really bad example of how technology can be applied. These folks created an intelligent beer mat (stay with me here) that calls the bartender when it starts running low. Talk about utility.. no more getting up, no more waiting for beer to arrive after you’ve run out, no more problems… Its the JIT inventory control system applied to beer.

Jen, say hello to your birthday present! I wonder if it can be programmed to scream “No way am I walking around Epcot sober” in front of children :)

Hey, Jen sounds like fun. Taken?

Hello, there! This is the perfect gift. Now when we go out to dinner, you don’t have to tell the servers “You suck” like you did two weeks ago. :)

And I have been to Epcot sober before, just not on the World Showcase side. I do love the boatride in Mexico after a few margaritas! And it makes nasty countries like France and Canada somewhat bearable.

jen just hit on the perfect feature to add to v2.0 of this product:

programmable messages that flash across the pad based on how long you sit on empty before the server brings a refill.

stuff like:

“way to go! excellent service…i see a big tip in your future”

“what? you get lost coming back from the restroom?”

“ever thought of career as a sanitation engineer?”

and of course, in the VLAD SIGNATURE EDITION…

“YOU SUCK!”
