Graffiti Bridges Worlds for Cell User
babokd wrote with a follow up to a piece we ran about the phenomenon of Grafedia, graffiti with links to the internet. The idea has caught on, and 'a communion of the real world with the Internet' may become more and more common. From the article: "It's all around you -- and not just in the phone lines and cables running under the streets or in the airborne Wi-Fi streams....If you send a text message to an e-mail address scrawled in paint on a subway advertisement or on a sidewalk, for example, you could get some digital pop art on your phone in return. An adhesive arrow on a telephone pole could hold the key to the history of a nearby building."
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, was found not guilty in a California court room yesterday. However the singer has asked to serve time anyway, as long as he's sentenced to confinement in a juvenile facility. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if he didn't fondle you, there's no denying his contributions to healthy, loving Man-Boy relationships. Truly a NAMBLA icon.
