  <title>Super Cool Automated Computer Controlled Bar</title>

  <description><![CDATA[ Combine thirst, geekyness, programming, a monitor, pumps and booze and what do you get?  An automated bar, of course.  Make your own and impress the friends that are impressed by geeky things with the coolness that is keypad driven drink mixing.  The author, a college student, surprisingly enough,  claims to have spent about $400 on this summer project before losing track.  One screen shot shows that the bar is PIN protected, which is probably a good idea, given that he's moving it into his dorm.

          </li>
        <li>5 Individually
          programmable selectors automatically measure and pour each beverage
          to your desired amount. User selectable labelling clearly display the
          beverage choices you offer.
