More proof that it takes (x) years to make an overnight success: Karlsruhe-based communications designer Felix Vorreiter invented the txtBOMBER back in 2005, but it's just in the past few days that it's exploded onto the blogosphere.
What is it? It's basically a handheld skywriter that prints on walls using an Arduino processor and seven markers. Pretty damn rad!

so much for hand styles....
This needs to be turned into an inkjet run by compressed air.
Imagine a print head strip mounted along the edge of a car door.
It would be great to pass other dirvers and print messages on the side of their cars as you drive by. You would need a very gentle and washable paint/ink to not stain cars permanently. Done right, this would provide a public service by labeling cars in traffic with bad drivers... LOL
Great concept. Really like it.
Ergonomically though, wouldn't it be better if the handle was roughly where those red wires are and you pushed it along rather than pulling it? You can see he's struggling to maintain pressure against the wall while pulling. Just a thought.
