Jam, for example. Sometimes butter. Rarely, the image of Jesus. Soon, however, you might be able find your morning news, thanks to the Scan Toaster.

This bread-burning gadget was a finalist Electrolux Design Lab competition 08. You can connect it to your computer via USB, and a network of toasting modules heated by hot wires will put what you want on your toast, from images to words.

I think I’d want a picture of a slightly smaller piece of toast, since I’m on a diet.

The only problem with this device? It’s not for sale yet.

Until a manufacturer picks up this design, you’ll have to get words on your bread the old-fashioned way: Sharpie.

That all might change now thanks to the Nintoaster.

It’s an original NES that lives inside the body of a toaster. All the toasting parts have been removed, so you’ll have to find another way to heat your bread.

I think it’s pretty cool, but how long before someone breaks it by jamming in a piece of pumpernickel?

You can find more pics of the kitchen/gaming device at stupidfingers.com.
