Robot make me a drink please

I just stumbled upon this product on one of my favourite websites: uncrate.com. Anyways, funny consequence since just last evening we were enjoying Pompous' latest 4-way liquor decanter. We joked about how it would be awesome if it were electronic - well...without further ado I give you the Somabar: Robotic Bartender! Fill it up and then have it make you a drink all from the touch of your smartphone.

A good Ferguson read

Just read an excellent article about the media reporting in the Ferguson case. I truly believe the media is the root of many of the evils in this world. Something has to change as it is infecting the minds of its citizens and brainwashing us. As the author states, he knows this article will not change how a reporter reports. As long as there is financial incentive to report drama rather than facts, it will not change. I think it is our job as citizens to not support this kind of reporting. To turn off the t.v. To investigate both sides. Explore the reliability of the reporting and not assume the media has it right. Not assume the reporting is based on facts. But instead, I think a safer assumption is that the media is reporting on what would make the biggest reaction, make the biggest buzz at the water cooler, and throwing facts away for subjectivity that supports "their" story. What do you guys think?
