paper with temporary ink

Xerox Corporation scientists have invented a way to make prints whose images last only a day, so that the paper can be used again and again. The technology, which is still in a preliminary state, blurs the line between paper documents and digital displays and could ultimately lead to a significant reduction in paper use
Absolutely amazing. Paper as a reusable digital platform. This would have some amazing uses beyond the office uses state by IBM. Imagine your notes being completely out of context and arrows and highlights referring to emptiness on the page. Or using the prints of photos as underlays for a drawing on top of them. As the paper gets used over and over are we creating a digital palimpsest in a sense?

Ministry of Type has a nice description of a fascination with guilloche patterns often found on banknotes and the process of making them.

Not so good. It is nice to give people a place to rant, but the thesaurus gets used up fast and there are only so many ways to say “it sucks”.

UPDATE:
A little later in the morning things were clearer.
So this happened. global.nytimes.com. The International Herald Tribune and the New York Times Global Edition are now fully the same. I like the fact that international affairs will now be a little more front and center.

Park Interactives by Dunne and Raby
Parks are strange places. During the day happy families play out idealised
scenarios of modern life, while at night, they become sites for a variety of illicit activities. Our furniture will make some of these night-time activities more convenient and at the same time, offer a critique of the kind of design that is always trying to make things nice, convenient, user-friendly, efficient and ergonomic (especially public furniture).
