This is a photo of the screen of a computer, displaying a webcam that’s trained on a plinth. Not just any plinth, The Plinth.
On the webcam is a whiteboard that carries a message, a message that’s saying hello to my sons. They were very impressed.
Lorinda (who I’ve never met) wrote the message. Lorinda wrote messages she got on her phone, via a service called Thumbprint. Thumbprint is a dead simple way to say stuff about places and topics by text.
I texted the Plinth after seeing a tweet from Andrew at Blink who made Thumbprint with my friends at Common.
It was all over in a few totally unexpected minutes of a Saturday afternoon, so let’s play that again, in slow motion…
- Tweet…
- Text…
- Thumbprint…
- Text…
- Plinth…
- Pen…
- Whiteboard…
- Webcam…
- Amazement.
Well done to all involved.
