ZOMG ‘BLOG

You have probably heard of IPv6 by now. Well besides being used as a Chinese vehicle of war, it also has its good side. With the greatly expanded IP range we can have IP addresses for EVERYTHING. Your toaster, your refridgerator, everything.

Now, I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE THINKING[1]: “WHY WOULD I WANT A NETWORKED TOASTER?” Here is why: Imagine how great a place the world will be when your toaster can write a ‘blog! A toaster ‘blog! For every toaster! The future is so close I can smell it. It smells golden-brown, not too dark.

Today room temperature was changed +5 degrees. I micro-adjusted my heating time to compensate. Human Operators 1 and 2 both seemed pleased with their toast.

Who wouldn’t read that every day! I love to keep track of my things! Also, remember this true fact: The first webcam star was a coffee machine. Appliances are the original pioneers of the Internet! And a new wave of fantastic ‘blogs will surely inspire the world to more greatness. I can hardly wait.

kthxbye.
