The Superbowl will be here before you know it, and if you're anything like me, you've been too busy to catch live every game leading up to it. DVRs, of course, let you record and replay programs you've missed, but if you don't have TiVo or a similar device, you often have to rely on low-fidelity videos watched on your home computer.

With inventions like the MicroMatic v-POD Tower, however, replaying your favorite games gets a little more exciting and a lot more high-tech.

The v-POD beer dispenser has a built-in 10-inch LCD screen, and a remotely mounted DiGi viewer (an electronic multimedia interface that typically reads memory cards or routes VGA or video inputs to an external device). In other words, you can watch videos (or slide shows of your last Superbowl party) while you pour from either four or six faucets.

Some bars in the city have had a similar feature like this for years... In fact, there is a bar on 34th street that has a mini LCD screen on the other side of the majority of it's taps...

I was just going to say I'm pretty sure I've seen this before. Wouldn't mind one for my house though. :)
