So can Jonsi cut it without the rest of Sigur Ros? My money is on yes, collaborating with Mico Muhly is a good sign.

If the past 10 years have been about discovering post-institutional social models on the Web, then the next 10 years will be about applying them to the real world.

[edit]
Welcome to the OpenPrinter project I want to build my own printer. There can be exactly one first model, and I'll settle for black and white. Eventually, the project will branch into laser, color laser, and other technologies, but at first, let's try a black and white model.
I want to be able to create it from noncustom items; there is nothing magical about printing that should restrict me to a certain vendor. Those items that appear to be custom can be approximated:wood /acrylic / metal can be formed to an outer shell, and some inventive thought can give rise to printer cartridges. If you doubt this, examine the "continuous feed systems" available on Ebay.
In some future iteration, I want an integrated print server and a driverless network connection: Let it be capable of direct network connectivity, with a host OS, driver, and network stack on the printer itself. An authorized user can send documents, and statistics can be served or sent to a repository.
I have a $200. - $400 budget for the first prototype, but won't begin purchases before Monday, March 15. That gives us roughly 60 days during which time, we'll compile a list of parts and sources.
Does this community desire to create such a printer?

Something that seems blindingly obvious now someone has said it, why isn't there an open printer project? Why are we stuck paying through the nose for new cartridges on cheap printers? And why are printer drivers such a pain in the arse?

In bed with Philip Larkin
A really lovely Sunday Feature in which poets Paul Farley and Kate Royal retrace the journey taken in Larkin's The Whitsun Weddings and an equally lovely Archive Hour (also presented by Paul Farley) about the discovery of a box of lost tapes of Larkin reading his own verse. Adding up to a slice of melancholy beauty the like of which you will not hear anywhere else this week. True.
