You should pitch that idea to someone, you know the internet grocery thing is taking off for the second time. And pundits are saying that this time it is here to stay.

Mine's digital - I keep fish fingers in it. In fact, mine is very tidy. It's connected to my local supermarket http://www.architecture.com/go/Architecture/Debate/Sustainable_2829.html via the internet. It creates a shopping list for me which I can download as I leave work, and go directly to the aisle. The shopping list is arranged by product in aisle sequence for maximum picking efficiency. Included with the picking list is a schematic which dictates how the packer should arrange the goods in the shopping bags, so that when I later unpack them at home my fridge is optimally packed according to a space-filling constraint logic program that I coded for it. If the packer has not filled the bags according to instructions then the fridge is able to detect my necessarily out-of-sequence unpacking, and correct it. At the same time it interfaces in real-time with the supermarket's payroll system and sends negative feedback to the packer's performance-related pay records so he or she can regret their poor packing skills in the next pay packet - a worthwhile incentivisation. Most of them are semi-retired people who frittered their money during their youth, rather than save for a pension, so there is a satisfying moral aspect to this, too. Besides, old people don't have a lot to spend their money on. Anyway, here's my very manly fridge: http://www.web-options.com/fridge.jpg Film, beer, champagne and carrots. I did have some tongue in cheek in there, but I took it out to nibble on while I write this. -- Cheers, Bob
