What if someone created an ink blogging program that (excuse me if I misuse terms) would parse the ink into individual pictures for each word.

Old Vs New

The X61 vs Everything Else - Part 2 (better late than never)

eTextBook/Resource Database? Are You Up for it?

A big undertaking, perhaps, but I think it’d be very useful for the digital student to have a big list of textbooks and good resources that are available free online. Even simple textbook companion resources would be useful. There’s so much out there that is just hidden in the mass of the web but is for the free taking. [...]
