Beer Brewing Bender

Simon Jansen from New Zeland is my hero. Not just for ASCII Star Wars or his Jet Powered Beer Cooler but mostly for his Beer Brewing Bender. I’ve always been a long time Futurama fan and Bender is far and away my favorite character. Here Simon has created a beer brewing Bender (much like the Microbrewing Bender from The Route of All Evil) with all the details. As he mentions, Bender’s CPU is reported to be a 6502 processor (Apple I, Apple II, Commodore PET, Commodore VIC 20) so he takes that to heart and actually builds an audio controller using a 6502 processor (+10 geek points).

Aside from all of the geek technical details, he does an excellent job with the overall fit and finish. He’s really inspired me to build my own Bender (something else to put on my “Someday Maybe” list). Although, I’m not into brewing beer I’ll have to figure out somehting else it can do, any suggestions?

You should really check out Simon’s project, truly a masterpiece. Hopefully I’ll have one in my office someday, God knows the wife would never allow something like this past the garage. The wife said she’d love to have this in the house, I know she’s the coolest wife ever but this pretty much confirms it! Love you honey!
