There are designers who create with the consumer in mind and designers who create with the end product in mind. Chris Dimino [1] is of the last variety. He created the "The Corona-Matic," which is an old unusable typewriter transformed into a waffle maker. Says Dimino: "Problem: Typewriter - Take this now useless item and give it a new life than it was intended to have. Solution: The Corona-Matic, a typewriter turned into a waffle iron that makes keyboard-shaped waffles.

I suddenly have visions of myself being the coolest mom ever and making keyboard, Nintendo controller and DS-Lite shaped waffles.
