Periodically I find a story/site/product that makes me say to myself, “wow, Andrew was talking about this two years ago.” While I’m not willing to assign him prophet status, I’ll publicly acknowledge that some of the stuff he’s “predicted” or talked about as being “right around the corner” has definitely come into being. He’s been posting some interesting links to gaming topics recently and has been working on some cool personal side-projects. His blog is one that I’m glad is in my aggregator, and not just because he’s my friend.

So, cheers Andrew here’s another real-world manifestation of something we’ve discussed:

Using ink-jet printers and lasers in the kitchen may seem like a futuristic vision but at Moto restaurant in Chicago, it’s already a reality. Its chefs, who are also engineers, are transforming the traditional dining experience by using inventive technology to create their food and to provide diners with an interactive, multi-sensory experience. Tired of steak and a plate of vegetables? The philosophy of the restaurant is to push the boundaries of known taste, texture and technique and to change the way that people perceive and eat food.
