Shutter Speed Bag.

Isn’t this fun? I found this shutter speed bag here. At first glance, I thought that it is an actual camera bag. But this a real bag, with zippers and compartments and all. It is a bit expensive though and I am not a fan of pricey bags, but I still find this cute. I might as well start reading about internet affiliate marketing. Who knows I might earn a lot from this one and be able to afford such bags. ;)

Look Into The Past.

Cool.

I love this collection of really beautiful desktop wallpapers. I love looking at them and they will surely bring a fresh new look to your screens. If only real life can always be this fresh and beautiful. Which reminds me that I need to check for new filters for the aircon. We need some ultra allergen filters as both DS and I are asthmatic. And while at it, I should take a look at furnace filter, too.

BookBook Case.

Photobucket

BookBook is a one-of-a-kind, hardback leather case designed exclusively for MacBook and MacBook Pro. Available in Classic Black or Vibrant Red, BookBook brings three levels of security to your prized Mac. First, the hardback cover and spine provide solid protection from the rigors of the road. Second, the vintage book design disguises MacBook for superior security. And third, the stylish case protects you from being like everyone else because BookBook is totally original, just like you.

I love this. But I don’t have a Mac. ;(

The Invisible Man.

I had to pause my search for affordable business insurance quotes online when I come across these amazing photos. I am almost done with the search anyway as I think I found what I need from 2insure4less.com.

Anyway, these are the works of Chinese artist Liu Bolin. No Photoshop editing, no trick photography. He just paints himself and positions himself to blend with his background. Truly amazing. Do you see him in the photos? I had a bit of a trouble spotting him on the last photo.
