Toaster!!!

So..! In our "basisgruppe" in Ex.Paed vi had to present  something to the other guys in the group. Anything! The choice was easy:

My Toaster.

Well, I figured the easiest way to present this rather simple piece of engineering was to acctually make toast! And so I did. I got up a little earlier than usuall and packed my backpack. Packlist:

• Toaster (obviously)
• Two slices of cheap euroshopperbread (allready cut and ready for toasting)
• Four slices of cheese (two in-between the bread, two on top)
• One piece of ham (What's toast without meat? Gay-toast, that's what)!
• One box of butter (Thou puttest butter on the bread)
• One tomato (tomato)
• One big knife (to cut the tomato (duh-uh))
• One small knife (to get the butter on-to the bread)
• One cutting plate (To cut the tomato on, and also for serving the toast)
• Last, but not least; Pizza-herbs (Oregano, basil, etc.. "green herbs..")

And so I made toast, on school. While the whole thing was cooking, I talked about the toasters many uses. I have made hot dogs and seikarbonade in that toaster! Then I told the audience about "The toaster in time: A brief historylesson in toasters". Pretty cool.

History (notes for oral presentation):

• Before electricity: 
• One pute the slices of bread into a iron frame and held it over the fire
• (Also avaliable today: Naturmagasinet.no (296,-) 52,-kr discount!
• After electricity:
• The steelwire to heat the plates used today: 1922, Albert March, Detroit and William Hoskins, Chicago
• First Toaster: 1893, British, named Eclipse, no commercial sucsess
• First sucsessfull toaster: GE, 1909, model D-12
• High-tech-Toasters:
• 1990: interntett toaster: Toaster controllable from the web!
• 2001: Weather-forecast-toaster: Printed the weather on the breadslice. (limited to sunny or cloudy)
• 2005: Embeedes systemdesign-toaster: Toaster with operationsystem, like windows, only shittier.

And that would be it. The toast was a sucsess! And the timing was pretty good. Audience enjoyed it, and got nothing but positive response!

A good day.
