prismakaostoday, i am happy about: blank journals. they're so full of promise - blank pages, nice, unstretched binding. it's sort of intimidating, because you don't really want to write in them since then they'll be sort of spoiled, but at the same time, you just can't help yourself. Or maybe that's just me. in any case, you always wonder what's going to happen with them. I also got my holiday savings back from borders, which means that i spent just over 300 dollars in books since the rewards program came out. I need a new bookcase.
today, i am less happy about: discovering frost. there was frost on my grass outside my apartment. also, i leave my house when it's dark, and i get home when it's dark. if i fade into a pale version of gollum, somebody shoot me.
today, i wish that: one could embed sound files into printed pages. i know they do this to some extent, but it would be awesome to be able to write down a song quote and then have the music play when you got to that page. i suspect that you could probably make a podcast or the equivalent to an audio book as a soundtrack to when somebody is reading it, but that just doesn't seem the same.

i wonder if you could embed the speakers into the hard covers of a book...i bet there are some speakers thin enough to do that. and you might need some really thin RFID tags in the pages and thick paper to accomodate, but it seems doable. there's probably an easier way to do it than RFID, i bet. hmm...

Date: 2006-11-29 10:29 pm (UTC)I definitely hear the bit about leaving and returning in the dark, which is rather irksome to me as well. And my car always seems to have fogged up every morning, which is annoying.
As for the book, perhaps the best way to do it would be to have the speakers in the book cover as suggested, and just have an id for each bit to play that can be entered quickly and easily when you get to that page. A bit primitive, perhaps, but easy.
