In Amsterdam you will find a museum that doesn´t exist: the Poetry museum. That is to say, there is no actual building. The museum is located on the Museumplein in Amsterdam and can be visited via a smartphone app. The initiators really wanted to start a museum for poetry because it does not yet exist. Writer Anna Enquist has been appointed curator and selected six poems each by 10 Dutch poets. The poets (among which Annie M.G. Schmidt, Ida Gerhard and Menno Wigman) each have a virtual pavilion on the Museumplein which can be chosen via the app. By walking around and pointing the camera in the right direction poems can be read and viewed.
It is necessary to actually visit the Museumplein as the app works with GPS.

Stickers are becoming smarter with PARC´s new invention. PARC is Xerox´s research and development arm. The sensors can measure temperature, air quality, humidity and more and are powered by RF energy. This will surely result in a new market. The American government also believes in it and has offered 19 million USD for the project which will save energy and the environment. Practical solutions in our industry are numerous such as storage of paper, inks and printed information.
Stickers worden slimmer met de nieuwe uitvinding van het PARC, de research en development tak van Xerox. Met sensors die onder andere temperatuur, luchtkwaliteit, vochtigheidsgraad kunnen meten en via RF door kunnen geven, zal een nieuwe markt ontstaan voor deze toepassingen. Ook de Amerikaanse overheid gelooft er in, en heeft 19 miljoen dollar toegezegd voor dit project dat energie moet besparen en het milieu moet ontlasten. Praktische toepassingen in onze industrie zijn legio, zoals voor de opslag van papier, inkt en gedrukte informatie.

In haar Verdigris Blog gaat Laurel Brunner in op het probleem dat oude computers kunnen geven in ons milieu. De snelle technologische veranderingen dwingen bedrijven soms snel afscheid te nemen van een nog goede computer. Gelukkig zijn er, zoals Laurel uitlegt, nu betere wetten en vooral betere oplossingen om computers te hergebruiken of op een verantwoorde wijze te demonteren.
In Laurel´s Verdrigris blog she talks about the problems with old computers and the environment. The fast technological developments sometimes force companies to say goodbye to perfectly fine computers. Luckily, as Laurel explains, there are better laws and especially better solutions to recycle computers.
