Printing on whole wheat or white
The IO Toaster (above) is sort of the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup of social electronics. It’s an Internet-connected combo toaster/printer that creators say can “bring the cloud to your breakfast.”
The team adapted code from an LED matrix to control heat transmission down to the pixel level. They hope to present the device at the Augmented World Expo at SXSW as well as at other hackathons and hardware meetups.
The team included Sam Cuttriss, Josh Cardenas, Tish Shute, Lauren Elliott, Jason Appelbaum and both Otto Leichliter III and IV.

"Imagine sending an Instagram to your Internet toaster and printing it—on whole wheat or white bread"
Yes I can, and in fact I remember reading about it on The Register ... quick search there shows it wsa in 2008 ... maybe the idea has just been "incubating" for the last 5 years
