Hola Peeps! Thanks for logging in!
We will continue the kitchen talk when we get back. For this week, I want to do one of my favorite things.
Just in case you've been living under a rock, it's almost Christmas time. In fact, here's the exact time left until Christmas:

For this weeks blog, pretend I'm giving you $300 with which to buy TECHNOLOGY gifts. They can be for you or for someone else.
Here are the rules:
1. It must be TECHNOLOGY.
2. You must spend all $300, or as close to it as possible.
3. You must post links to your stuff so we can all go look.
You may blog on Tuesday like we do for Yanko. Please try not to suck the fun out of this for me.
Have a wonderful, RELAXING holiday season! See yall rested and ready to go in January.
Talk to me . . .

Blog 14 - 12/6/10
Hola Peeps! Thanks for logging in!
Before we get started, allow me to just say . . . COME ON CHRISTMAS BREAK!!! I know you guys are as tired as I am.
Continuing our discussion of kitchen innovation, this week I have two videos. The first one is made like the lady is from the 50's, but she's really not. It's from a company called Lutron, and everything you see in that video is in existence right now. Also? Most of it can now be done from applications for your phone, which we will talk more about in the future. The funny thing to me about this video is that even though she's showcasing all this kitchen control stuff, if you pay close attention you'll see that see's using a real retro hand mixer like your great-grandmother used to use. That cracked me up.
The second video is called Living Tomorrow and it's about data integration in our future kitchens. To my knowledge this stuff is not in production, but will be very soon. The kitchen that's showcased in this video is a smart kitchen. It know how much water we're using, how much electricity we're using, etc. The guy also talks about embedded RFID chips in our food packaging that lets the oven know how long to cook the product.
Essentially, what these videos tell us is that the kitchens of the very near future will have lots of video screens. These kitchen designers have obviously never seen me cook. I end up with stuff everywhere . . . heck this weekend I ended up with salsa verde on my toe. All I'm saying is I hope those screens clean easily.
So my questions this week are:
1) How much data integration does your kitchen have now? Does the cook in your house have their recipes stored electronically? Or are you guys still old school written stuff?
2) Does the cook in your house ever watch video of somebody cooking something and cook along with them at the same time?
3) Do you think they WOULD do that if it were easier to access the video . . . say . . . like the monitor was built into the counter?
Answer all three questions to receive credit this week.
AS ALWAYS, UNLESS WE ARE LOOKING AT YANKO YOU WILL NEED TO WAIT UNTIL THURSDAY TO BLOG!
