Notepad toaster burns handwritten messages into bread

Designer Sasha Tseng (unlinkable Flash site here) has created this prototype toaster/notepad. Scribe your note on the tablet over the toaster, and it will burn the message into the bread. Link (via Cribcandy)

I'm pretty sure it's a concept, not a prototype.

Yeah...

This is pretty awesome, but at the same time awesomely worthless.

Now, I have worked as a product designer, and have to admit to considering these types of ideas.
I'm not sure I want to add digital tech into my food consumption anymore, or line it up next to all the juicers, bread makers, sandwich presses, steamers, pasta mills... kitchen must grow.

Gadgets, I know, are the pr0n that offends none.

Might be handy to print GREENLAND IS MELTING on my toast every morning.

This is a godsend for those of us who have used pens on pieces of toast. I cannot recall how many times I've resorted to using a magic marker.
