	Skywriting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Skywriting is the process of using a small aircraft, able to expel special smoke during flight, to fly in certain patterns as to create writing readable by someone on the ground.
		Skywriting is never a permanent process - winds and dispersal of this smoke cause the writing to blur, usually rapidly.
		However special "skytyping" techniques have been developed to write in the sky in a dot-matrix fashion, to use the blurring effect to advantage.

	Waldenbooks - Feature - Skywriting: A Life Out of the Blue
		Skywriting is what I call my personal process of discovery, because it seemed that I plied blue sky—so much of the work went on unconsciously.
		Skywriting has become an accumulation of moments of clarity in which I finally saw what had been in plain sight all along.
		I like to think that Skywriting is about looking toward the bright side, knowing the journey there will not be a straight line but rather a spiraling path that moves forward in a pattern of turning back—purposeful wandering.

	Skywriting (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Skywriting is one of the more traditional forms of advertising that companies used years ago.
		Skywriting is the process of using a small or medium sized aircraft which ejects a special smoke while flying in a variety of directions in order to create text for people on the ground to read.
		Skywriting is never a permanent process because of winds which blow the smoke and create a blurry effect and this is one of the main reasons that this method of advertising is not widely used except during air shows or above large groups of people (ie: Stadiums, Parks, ect.).

	What is Skywriting?
		Skywriting is a form of advertising in which a pilot is contracted to spell out a brief slogan or catchphrase in letters formed by smoke.
		Single plane skywriting has largely been replaced by multi-plane 'skytyping', a computer-controlled method involving timed puffs of smoke from a synchronized row of aircraft.
		Some skywriting is still performed today, although only a select number of pilots retain the skills necessary for the job.

	Skywriting
		The principle is the same as e-mail, except that your contribution is "posted" to a global electronic network, consisting currently of most of the universities and research institutions in America and Europe and growing portions of the rest of the scholarly and scientific world.
		All my creative and communicative faculties were focused on the lively international, interdisciplinary scholarly interactions I was having on the issues of intellectual interest to me at the time (which happened to arise from Searle's "Chinese Room Argument" and eventually came to be called the "symbol grounding problem").
		And indeed the moderated groups carry much less material and their exchanges are a good deal more sluggish than the unmoderated ones, which seem to be as "live" and spontaneous as direct e-mail (but with the added virtue of appearing in the sky for all to see and contribute to).

		Super-Size Skywriting is carried out by a squadron of planes that are coordinated to print different segments of the message simultaneously.
		Hands down, the most recognized Skywriting job ever performed was the "SURRENDER DOROTHY OR DIE" Skywriting scene executed by the wicked witch of the north in the movie, "The Wizard of Oz".
		The water and oil mixture was opaque, so it hid me. The miniature Witch who did the skywriting was three eighths of an inch high, and the broom she was riding was a hypodermic needle.

	Scholarly Skywriting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Scholarly Skywriting is a term coined by cognitive scientist Stevan Harnad describing the combination of multiple email and a topic threaded web archive such as a newsgroup, electronic mailing list, hypermail, netnews or Internet forum, linked and sortable by date, author, or subject-heading threads.
		Harnad suggests that scholarly skywriting with quote/commentary has revived the oral tradition in the online age, making it possible to have a conversation-like dialogue with a text (even a text with a deceased author) that fully utilizes the interactive cognitive capacities of the brain that evolved with language.
		Harnad claims scholarly skywriting is significant because it combines the advantages of oral and written communication, restoring the synchronous, bilateral and interactive nature of the oral tradition with the permanence of the written tradition.

	Scholarly Skywriting and the Prepublication Continuum... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		A soft archive for all skywriting could be used to authenticate priority where necessary.
		Scholarly inquiry in this new medium will proceed much more quickly, interactively, and globally; and it is likely to become a lot more participatory, though perhaps also more depersonalized, with ideas propagating and permuting on the net in directions over which their originators would be unable (and indeed perhaps unwilling) to claim proprietorship.
		Skywriting offers the possibility of accelerating scholarly communication to something closer to the speed of thought while adding a globally interactive dimension that makes the medium radically different from any other.

		Suzanne and Steve met while on the job at the Kentucky Derby where she was skywriting for a local Pepsi-Cola bottler and he was pulling advertising banners with his 1941 Stearman biplane.
		Before air shows, Suzanne generally skywrites a message about the air show, creating letters using a vaporizing fluid in the plane’s exhaust system.
		Each letter is about 3/4 a mile on a side, but much of the work for skywriting is actually done on the ground.

		The finished product is rather odd in the sense that in many places it could have been written about almost anyone -- even though that's probably not why you picked up the book in the first place.
		After reading "Skywriting," it's easy to wonder if Pauley wasn't quite ready to fully tackle a new project of that scope.
		That might not be a fair judgment, since talk shows die all the time, but it's easy to jump to it.

	Stevan Harnad: Scholarly Skywriting (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		For every self-archived paper on the web is like a piece of skywriting, visible to one and all, today and forever more.
		Still more important, skywriting is there to have further skywriting appended to it (rather like serial graffiti on a public wall, although the analogy is otherwise unflattering, and irrelevant when it comes to SCHOLARLY skywriting, as opposed to mere Netnews-style chat groups that are really just global graffiti-boards for trivial pursuit).
		Harnad has self archived much of his work, and there is an extensive bibliography of Harnad's writing and other articles on Open Access available from Jordi Adell (it is the second post).

	interdisciplines : The Future of Web Publishing : Back to the Oral Tradition Through Skywriting at the Speed of Thought
		For, far from being near-synchronous skywriting, CA- and BBS-style open peer commentary had been implemented unbiologically, the old, plodding, terrestrial way, with months of delay between target article, commentaries, response, and their eventual co-publication.
		My guess is that what is detaining the peers of the realm (the research community) is the feeling that there is something inherently ephemeral about the new medium -- that it occupies only a virtual space in the real republic of letters.
		And the last papyrocentric habit we need to break is the notion that access-toll-gates must always separate our skywritings from their would-be skyreaders, commentators, and users (Harnad 2001).

	Blimps and skywriting to be banned \| The Courier-Mail
		BLIMPS and skywriting will be banned over major sporting events in Queensland under laws to go to state cabinet next week.
		Sports Minister Andrew Fraser said the laws would not be in place in time for the first Ashes match at the Gabba in Brisbane next month, but he had received an assurance from Holden that the blimp would not be flown within sight of the cricket ground.
		The laws will make it an offence for a non-sponsor of a major event to fly an aerial blimp, skywrite and or hang a sign from a building within sight of the event.

	Scholarly Skywriting Article Presentation
		Surviving products of all the brainstorming and skywriting would be refereed in the usual way, "read, criticized and revised under peer scrutiny" (Harnad, 343).
		Scholars could continue the process further, so the review is of published or archived work on the net, not just prepublished works.
		In effect, this processs of skywriting would enhance scholarship by cutting down on the lag time between the thought and its final product.
