GirlHacker's Random Log

Went to lunch at Armadillo Willy’s today and discovered that they are using “Coaster Calls”. You know how at some restaurants you get a pager to let you know when your table is ready? At Willy’s you order your food before you seat yourself and they give you a kinda thick, square coaster which is actually a pager. It’s made with see-through plastic, and has a neato ring of red LEDs circling the indentation for your glass. When it goes off, it vibrates and the LEDs cycle around. I asked if anyone had a screwdriver so I could take mine apart. Hacker! (It actually doesn’t have any screws.) Coaster Call is made by Long Range Systems.
