from Casey Research:
"At the end of the day, folks, we need a break. So is it too much to ask that we not have to trudge all the way to the refrigerator in the kitchen, in order to reward ourselves with the adult beverage of our choice?
Thought not.
Luckily, there are clever hackers out there who have been pondering the same question, and Carnegie Mellon grad student Ryan Rusnak, surely suffering as we have, arrived at an ingenious solution. He married an iPhone to a retrofitted dorm fridge, added a few off-the-shelf parts and… drum roll, please… came up with something we always knew we needed. A beer cannon.
That’s right, you simply touch your phone screen to select the brand of brew you want at that moment (works with soft drinks and iced tea, too, of course), then press the Fire! button, and the cannon will shoot an ice cold can across the room and right into your hands.
Best of all, basic directions for building your own cannon – which’ll set you back about $400, a small price to pay for this kind of convenience, in our opinion – are posted here, and the app to operate it can be downloaded from the iTunes store for free."
