Print Messages On Your Beer

Posted by kdawson on from the for-its-own-sweet-sake dept.

Migraineman writes "I stumbled upon a clever hack by Sprite. He reverse-engineered the pin functions on an HP inkjet cartridge and built a simple driver board that converts the cartridge into a hand-held inkjet printer. The driver board is programmed with a fixed message. Moving the 'print head' is your responsibility. Printing messages on a whiteboard was the original inspiration, but printing messages on the foam head of a Guinness is just inspired."

    I am sick of you fucking Guinness-snobs. Yeah, I know--it's an acquired taste. Congratulations for acquiring it. Get over yourself already. No matter how firmly you might have had your tongue in cheek when posting this, you still overshot the amusing hyperbole target by a margin that can not be measured with household implements.
