The magic to personal digital pen
Check out the personal digital pen by Logitech: It’s a magic pen that can store everything you write and transfer it to your computer. And you don’t have t0 lug a hand—held device a10ng with you for it to work.
Logitech’s technology works like this:the pen writes normally,using normal ballpoint pen ink.But while you are writing,a tiny camera inside the pen is also taking 100 snapshots per second of what you are doing,mapping your writing via a patchwork 0f minute dots printed on the paper. AU this information-the movement of your pen on the paper,basically-is then stored digitally inside the pen,whether you are writing notes or drawing complex diagrams. You can store up to 40 pages worth of doodles in the pen’s memory. As far you are concerned,you are just using a normal pen.
It is only when you drop the pen into its PC-connected cradle(支架)that the fun begins.Special software on your PC will figure out what you have done, and begin to download any documents you have written since the last time it was there.Depending on whether you have ticked(打上记号) certain boxes on the special notepad(记事本),it can also tell whether the document is destined to be an e-mail,a“to do”task,or a diagram to be inserted into a word-processing document. Once the documents are downloaded you can view them,print them out or convert them to other formals.
The io personal digital pen is a neat and simply solution to the problem of storing,sharing and retrieving handwritten notes,as well as for handling diagrams,pictures and other non—text d00dling.
You don’t have to cant a 1aptop along with you.all you have to do is just whip out the pen and the special paper and you are off.
It is a great product because it does not force you to work differently-walking around with a screen strapped to your arm,or carrying with you extra hits and pieces.The pen is light and works like a normal pen if you need it to,while the special notepads look and feel like notepads.The Only strange looks will be from people who are curious about why your are writing with a cigar.
The io personal digital pen also has potential elsewhere. Fedex,for example, is introducing a version 0f the pen so that customers can fi11 out forms by hand—instead of punching letter into cumbersome devices. Once that data is digital more or less anything can be done with it-transferring it wirelessly to a central computer,for example, or via a hand-phone. Doctors could transmit their prescriptions direct to pharmacies,reducing fraud;policemen could send their reports back to the station,reducing paper work.

Miro, A Just Man
Miro was goodness, a just man in all things. He did not speak much but was very courteous. I never saw him with a camera or a ballpoint pen, but he would sometimes spend an hour contemplating the landscape. He and I were alone. I prudently kept my distance. He liked places that were difficult to get to, with a good view.
Francesco Sole, Miro's chauffeur during 25 years. Interview at ABC, in Spain, 1983.
Bernini on Women
Asked in the presence of many French ladies who were the more beautiful, the French or the Italians, he replied that all were very beautiful, but with this difference: that there was blood under the skin with the Italians, while with Frenchwomen there was milk.
F. Baldinucci, Vita del Cavaliere Glo. Lorenzo Bernino, 1681, from the 1846 edition of the Notizie.
Frida Kahlo
Why did Frida paint herself? Her preferred exercise seems to have been shaping and perpetuating the image the mirror returned, enriched by her own art and imagination. On the other hand Frida herself answered this question by saying, "I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone. Because I am the person I know best."
Espacio , Art Magazine 1983.
Degas
In the life of Degas, his famous painting, Danseuses a la barre sold for five hundred thousand francs. When Degas discovered this, he commented: "The painter who painted this is not necessarily an imbecile; but the person who paid five hundred thousand francs for this painting, is most definitely an idiot."
Anthology of Anecdotes, Noel Claraso, 1982.
Picasso on Drawing
Picasso said to me once with a good deal of bitterness, they say I can draw better than Raphael, and probably they are right, perhaps I do draw better but if I can draw as well as Raphael I have at least the right to choose my way and they should recognize it, but no, they say no.
G. Stein, Picasso, 1938.
Who was most likely an idiot, according to one of the following descriptions?
A.Miro, because he spoke little but was very courteous.

C.The person who bought the Degas' famous painting.
