It's an electrolumniscent world after all

Sunday, January 25, 2004

I’m a nut for anything illuminated (eg. my sculptures circa 1999) so this is definitely something I can relate to…

“Illuminated Handbags. Ladies, suppose that your handbag featured a “cool, gentle light” inside, so you could see where everything was—wouldn’t that be great? Of course it would, and the good news, reports Thaddeus Herrick in The Wall Street Journal, is that a recent innovation involving an old technology called “electroluminescence” is about to make it a reality.  Electroluminescence, or EL, “uses electricity to light up specially treated plastic,” but does so in a way that “generates so little heat that it remains cool to the touch.” EL actually “has been around for decades, but for years researchers puzzled over applications because of its low light intensity and the fact that originally it only worked on flat, rigid spaces.” [via VirtualR]

Smarter Bookmarks

Thursday, January 22, 2004

“Smarter Bookmarks. How do you find your favorite websites? Some people, reports Lisa Guernsey in The New York Times, “try to keep track of websites by sending themselves an e-mail message with the link and a note of why it might be useful. Others,” she writes,” print pages or use sticky notes.”

Increasingly fewer people, however, bother to bookmark pages anymore. That’s according to William Jones and Harry Bruce, a pair of associate professors at the University of Washington, who dismiss bookmarks as “‘information closets’ that hold a jumble of sites people never return to.” That’s a problem that William and Harry hope to solve, and they’ve got a three-year, $378,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to do so. Their project, called “Keeping Found Things Found,” involves research into “how people returned to sites they had visited before.”

Venice beach

Friday, January 16, 2004

Finally, the sand of Venice Beach under my feet!  When I left Ithaca, NY two days ago, there was snow on the ground and a storm on the way.  Meanwhile, in Southern California people are surfing and basking in the sun.
