This is about the reincarnation of the anoto pen. New player, new chances. The fact that I find annoying is that this trick still depends on the paper with patterns. Without the patterns it would be so much cooler (think wii).

Cool science-fiction short from Bruce Sterling. The story didn’t really grab me, but he presents a nice concept on how physical and digital architecture will become intertwined.

I just found this blog, and I must say, it has been some great inspiration already. This post about Enterprise 2.0 has some good points that I recognize. It’s not riding the 2.0 bandwagon, but has some sincere realism.
