Turns out I'm not alone: <a href="http://news.zdnet.com/2100-1035_22-6187358.html?tag=st.prev">there's a new alphabet that's based solely on color</a>, which, if it catches on and doesn't become a 21st century Esperanto, could influence the communication of our kids and eventually, their kids.</p><p>Sure, there's probably not much we adults can conceive to do with this other than say, "Cool! A rainbow that spells something! Now what?" but our kids don't think like we do, at least not yet. Right now, about all you can do is join the <a href="http://www.kfons.com/">Kromofons</a> (that's the name of the alphabet but don't let that spoil your experience) community and send one another Kmail, coded in color. Or you can paint the outside of your house and send a message to your entire neighborhood. But I'm sure your kids can think of things to do with it that don't involve spray paint or tattoos.<br> </p><img src="http://www.babble.com/CS/aggbug.aspx?PostID=22967" width="1" height="1">color alphabeteccentricitiesKromofons
