Paint with a Purpose

Jessie Atkin posted a blog on Digital Landing. Read about how the Japanese have figured out how to block other people from using your wireless.

At school we all share the same wireless network. Our internet can be accessed in dorms and in class (if you have a password that is). What about the average wi fi user? How do you protect your investment?

Japan has released wi fi paint, it basically blocks hangers on from accessing the internet you are paying for. Convenient for honest apartment dwellers who do pay for their own wireless. It’s an unfortunate development for poor city interns and the like, but it is pretty ingenious. In this economy I’d hope we could all learn to just share, but I can understand not wanting to. If only city wide wireless was available for real.

Jessie Atkin posted a blog up on Digital Landing. Read about the concept of a digital way to be an artist, past the programs of 'paint'.

Paint has come a long way from paint brush pens to Squeezable 3D options and mess less Color Wonder stuff options continue to exceed all of our most basic needs. But what about us tech people?

Well, aside from the all out professional drawing boards and photoshops of the world a new concept for digital painting brings all the wonders of the real thing to the screen.

Virtuo, a digital toolset could help all of us beginners get a feel for the art without the mess (and we’d look a lot cooler than using that color wonder stuff). The concept is basically a digital pallet with pens, brushes, the whole deal, just no need for paper. Use real painting skills on a less than real canvas.

Too bad it’s just a concept now, but it still look pretty sweet.
