On-demand skate decks & more

I'm always intrigued by technologies that enable on-the-fly creation of media (print, Web, video)--what Adobe dubbed "network publishing."  Recent examples I've found interesting:

 

  • "MagCloud enables you to publish your own magazines. All you have to do is upload a PDF and we'll take care of the rest: printing, mailing, subscription management, and more."  (Kind of a step up from my 8th-grade experiences publishing a skate 'zine with a friend's Mac & my dad's office Xerox.)

  • Faber Finds publishes out-of-print titles, generating a unique cover for each on the fly. [Via]
