Pee in the Pool
The two men sat staring at the whiteboard. A line down the middle of the board separated two lists, one labeled "Life," the other "Death." Under "Life" were a few bullet points, written in all-caps. Under "Death" was only one phrase: "EVERYTHING else."
Quoted from: PiTP || A Participatory Digital Fiction by Shawn Rider

Plot Patents == Spooky
A Plot or Storyline Patent application seeks to patent the underlying novel and nonobvious storyline of a fictional story. Such protection is to be contrasted from the copyright protection of one of millions of possible expressions of an underlying storyline. The field of possible applications is broad, and may tentatively be split into an entertainment-advertisement dichotomy. The epitome of an entertainment application is an original, thought-provoking, often shockingly unique movie plot. Several potentially patentable features may have been found in the plots of, Memento, The Thirteenth Floor, Being John Malkovich, Butterfly Effect, The Game, Fight Club, The Matrix, Total Recall, The Truman Show, Minority Report, The Village, Groundhog Day, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, to name a few. The epitome of an advertisement application is one of the many thoughtfully hilarious "Super Bowl commercials."
Quoted from: Knight and Associates - Applications
My friend Aaron dropped a link to this article about these guys, Knight & Associates, who are applying for plot patents on novel parts of plots and stories. This is insane. I mean, how can the Matrix even be argued -- when it is itself an amalgam of a dozen existing plots and the only novel thing it brought was a pause and spin camera aspect. It's nuts. Just nuts. And wrong.

Video Paintbrush
I/O Brush is a new drawing tool to explore colors, textures, and movements found in everyday materials by "picking up" and drawing with them. I/O Brush looks like a regular physical paintbrush but has a small video camera with lights and touch sensors embedded inside. Outside of the drawing canvas, the brush can pick up color, texture, and movement of a brushed surface. On the canvas, artists can draw with the special "ink" they just picked up from their immediate environment.
Quoted from: I/O Brush: The World as the Palette
After seeing Paul's photos I thought immediately of this. Now this is painting with light. Wow. You sample from the real world with the video cam built into the brush, then paint with it, like described above. But also, you can sample animated elements. You have to watch the video (linked at the bottom of that page) to really understand how amazingly fun this thing looks. You should be able to make little ones to work with tablet PCs or whatever. Wow.

Fire on Vernon Place!
It looks like nobody got hurt, except a firefighter who looked like he was being treated for smoke inhalation. He seemed like he'd be OK, from my remote vantage point, of course.
This is the second house to burn down on our block this year. It's nuts. I don't know what started it. I saw the people who lived there, and it looked like they had been called down from work. So it seems like the house was empty at the time of the fire, although there was another guy there who kept saying that he had just stepped out for a minute. What does that mean?
Off to put up a new smoke detector...
