Hipster PDA - New Feature
Throw out your old hipster! No, wait that’s with software. Analog devices don’t usually require that. Anyway, an advanced hipster PDA user has come up with a novel web app - a cover personalizer! He has set up a web page at
“http://www.eleven21.com/hipster/” where anyone can upload a picture and other information and then have the web app print a personalized cover page for the Hipster.
The Hipster website isn’t up yet, but Doug Johnston at A Million Monkeys Typing “http://www.douglasjohnston.net/weblog/” has a great article about the “why” of creating the site. If the cover web app is any indication, the creativity of this effort will be fascinating to watch.
Maybe that’s one of the attractions of open source - the ability to see the creativity in action, since the intellectual property doesn’t need to be “protected.”
