Anyone spot the Omron joke? No? Jolly good.

I did and was going to follow up with a ladder logic joke, but I lost net access.

I want that Korean machine. In my kitchen. It's very handsome.

Yeah, it was pretty!

The laser one looked fantastically sci-fi, but it's too complex. Tokomak stuff is going to be the way forward, I give KSTAR half-a-decade before they can sustain :)

I agree. The laser thing is amazing, but just too mad.

Nice! Can't seem to find any actual models of one. I'm scratching my head over what real-life object the toroidal centre reminds me of...

I found a medley of small internal pics of it in action on Google, which went into the Wallpapers folder :)

By way of coincidence, I was emailing Omron yesterday, in connection with their fine line of quantified-self products.

And yes, of course I spotted it. I am steeped in the branding semiotics of technical instrument companies of all kinds.

Speaking of which, are you following http://www.williamgibsonbooks.com/blog/2009_02_01_archive.asp ? He seems to be emitting a book very slowly piecewise.
