In Photoshop, there’s a little pen which will copy the color settings of anything on your monitor screen so you can use it as your color in the program. Well, think of the Real Life Color Picker as … well, a real life version of just that – only for the real world.
The Color Picker can scan any color in the real world by placing the head of the pen against the object of color and pressing the scan button. Color sensors inside the pen talk to the attached RGB cartridge, which then mixes the proper proportions of red, green and blue to come up with an accurate ink color. It can then be used for artistic purposes like drawing or simply writing with it. Very cool.
I can see literally hundreds of possibilities for hobbyists – particularly scrapbookers and costumers looking to match the color of a particular garment or wallpaper sample in order to then get the right swatch to create the perfect scrap book page or costume. Or simply someone like my wife, who’s been writing in a journal non stop since she was 13 (now 42) and getting ink to suit her mood at the time.
It’s just a concept right now, but if this sucker gets funding, I can see Parker or Paper Mate picking this up just in time for school.

Hey, Awesome blog you have here. I wanted to let you all know that I think Twitter is going to be one of the best networks because of the fact that it is supported by so many industries. I also think when Twitter reveals some of it’s new functions, returning traffic will increase to show the real growth of the network.

Aw, this was a basically top quality article. In theory I’d prefer to write like this also – taking time and genuine work to produce a quality content… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and never seem to have anything done.
Every-time I see blogs as good as this because I should stop browsing and start working on mine
I’ve the same problem sometimes, but I usually just force myself via it and revise later. Great luck!
