Forecast: cloudy with a chance of poetry? Invisible verse sees the light of day during drizzly weather.
Street art adds spark and creativity to sometimes bleak urban environments; meanwhile, graffiti damages property and is a sign of blight to many. But what if you could leave your mark in invisible ink?
A public art project by Mass Poetry, in collaboration with The City of Boston, is doing just that. Launched in honor of National Poetry Month, "Raining Poetry" is a series of poems stenciled throughout the city's sidewalks. The spray used to write the poems is invisible; when the surrounding pavement is darkened by rain, the dry words emerge and treat pedestrians to the secret poems that quietly wait to be read.
Sounds like something that would appeal to the Geocaching crowd or the flash-drive dead-drop crowd (funny aside: the guy in that picture is Bre Pettis, co-founder of MakerBot).

How soon before malicious idiots embed electronic crap into the sidewalks?
I'm quite sure malicious idiots^W^Wgovernments have been doing that for quite some time.
