I almost forgot to post this -- on Sunday, the New York Times Magazine ran a feature package on "The Future of Food," to which I contributed a pictorial spread on way-new kitchen gadgets. Essentially, I hunted down a half-dozen prototype designs for really futuristic -- and weird-looking -- kitchen toys that don't exist yet, but should. The piece is online here, though unfortunately the pictures, which are the main attraction, get shrunk down considerably in the online version.
