Joto is an “internet connected drawing board”; it’s whimsical, and it’s fun. But I just can’t shake my doubts about it.

We’ve made another publication for small, connected printers like our own Printer and BERG’s Little Printer, but this one’s a bit more seasonal.

We enjoyed Phil Gyford’s new application Twelescreen earlier today, and the background post he wrote about how it came to be, and how he’s even somewhat unsettled that the tools of Big Brother might seem so… useful.

Hello, in fact, just to you specifically. Thanks for looking in. Welcome to Exciting.

We’ve been exploring the possibilities of small, connected printers for a while now – not only how to build them, via our Printer platform and dabbling with BERG’s Little Printer, but more importantly how best to employ them.

Probably the most important and useful aspect of going to conferences and meetups is spending time with the people there. It’s often useful finding out what new things communities are working on, what they are interested in, and where they are going for dinner (or a dram).

The response to our open source printer project has been amazing, but some people rightly have questions, so I’ll try to answer them here.

For over a year, I have been playing around with printing things out on a receipt printer. Recently, a few accidents of implementation gave more life to my tinkerings than I had originally intended.
