Advertising/Social Justice responding to viewer: http://copyranter.blogspot.com/2009/06/high-tech-anti-domestic-violence.html
     This was a link recommended by MG on FaceBook. It raises a lot of questions and ideas for me, but mostly reminds me in a way of a scene in a movie--was it Gattica? [info]ruthling called FaceBook a brilliant way for friend to serve advertisements to each other, and I think there's some truth in this. I can see tech like this poster (yeah, you gotta go look at the link to see what I mean) being tied to reading the "blink" technology on people's credit card(s) or "smart" passports and such, and relate that to other ad-relevant info in databases. While officially, "they" aren't supposed to be able to get personal info from blink tech (IIRC from a Scientific American issue a couple months back), I don't buy it for a second that such data won't get leaked or sold.

Messing around with print layouts: balancing readability, whimsy, pictures, relatively efficient inkjet printing (ink use, page counts). Hm.
     That would be me experimenting with my SWAPA and other newsletters. I want more clue!
