Get a cup of coffee and your local weather, too!

For years, I've referred to the Internet refrigerator in some of my sessions (typically those sessions that talk about Web standards). Well, in case you got tired of waiting for it (and as long as you don't need full Internet capability)...

Melitta has released the Smart Mill & Brew Coffeemaker. It connects to MSN Direct (the same system that powers SPOT watches) and delivers the current weather for the "top 100 metropolitan areas in the United States".

For those times when looking outside is too much trouble ;-)

Only if you live in one of those top 100 metropolitan areas ;-)

I'm still holding out for the USB espresso machine that automatically brews based on how much work you're doing. ;-)
