title: Intelligent Drink Dispenser in the news!
|
|
---
|
|
So, I've been pretty quiet about my Intelligent Drink Dispenser project so far,
|
|
mostly because there was going to be a competition between myself and
|
|
[Clint Rutkas](http://betterthaneveryone.com/archive/2009/04/11/856.aspx) and
|
|
I didn't want to give the enemy any details.

Well, the cat's out of the bag: [http://news.mst.edu/2009/05/students_create_smart_way_to_m.html](http://news.mst.edu/2009/05/students_create_smart_way_to_m.html)

The communications department of my university, Missouri S&T (formerly UMR), gets
|
|
alerts from Google News whenever someone mentions the university's name and since
|
|
Clint did just that, his post showed up in their email. After talking with the
|
|
director of communications, he decided to run the story. I gotta say, it's a
|
|
pretty great way for my Senior Design class to wind down.

For those interested in the details of the Intelligent Drink Dispenser, stay
|
|
tuned! I'll be posting more information about it soon.

Side note: since the story got posted, my server's been chugging along to serve
|
|
up my website, almost maxing out the upload on my poor cable internet connection.
