Cirque du Soleil

Yup, I want to go see Kooza the Cirque du Soleil show here in Portland. Its good timing, I can ask for it as a birthday present. If you want to watch a promo video: click.

Time-lapse

Steampunk fashion has come to my attention over the past couple of months. Personally, I think it's a great combination of Victorian fashion and industrial and scientific bits.

This is an impressive time-lapse of a 6 hour book cover design using a steampunk theme. I'm now interested in reading the books by Gail Carriger.



I original found this from the Bookliciousblog (all about books) and the original article from Orbits Books here.

From the Orbits article i found the Clockwork Couture "a fine steampunk clother". I've found a few pieces of jewelry I'd like owning. Plus, this blouse is beautiful!

Polaroid coming back!

Thru a series of links from twitter i some how landed on this article from Photography Bay about how Polaroid is releasing a new under $100 dollar camera this year! Exciting news for anyone who missed the Polaroid era but wants in on it now.

An alternative, immediate purchase could be the Fuji Instax Mini Instant Camera which has these tiny 5x5x2.5 inch size photos!
