Silly video: Blendie
Blendie, produced by Kelly Dobson of the MIT Media Lab in 2004, is a voice operated blender prototype. The pitch of your voice controls the speed (and mechanical scream) of the blender.
Link to post on coolhunting blog. The blueprint for blendie, cropped below, is almost as funny as the video: Link. And my BB colleague David Pescovitz points out that Dobson and her project are profiled in MAKE's "Makers" book: Link.
(Thanks to, and all hail the glorious return of... the Reverse Cowgirl!)
