Chalk has been with us for quite a while right now, and it doesn’t look like it is in any way likely to disappear with all the latest pads and tablets swiping away at the market, so the folks over at Rust-Oleum have come up with a pretty interesting product called the Rust-Oleum Chalkboard Spray ($29 List / $8 Street) that can turn almost any flat surface into a fully functioning chalkboard- chalk not included!
It will be great for walls, and I would personally like to see the MTA adopt its use on their subway cars, and give out chalk to everyone. (Just a thought…)
