So it's basically a less expensive, less extensible version of a Lensbaby? - cecily
Um...I would not say that. With a lensbaby, you get a lot of distortion in the shot; this lens gives you something akin to what you see in a Holga shot, but with better colors and smoother focus. - JA Castillo
Oh yeah, that's on my amazon wishlist. I'd love to play with that lens! - tab thinks you're awesome
didnt like the test shots, if I would have to make a decision, I rather go with lensbaby. - ilgaz erel
I don't see the two as similar; you don't buy an actual Diana camera to get a lensbaby effect and vice versa. If you are looking for a bit of a film-like and diffused effect, this may do it for you. Hoping this gets the attention of Mrs. Claus! :) - JA Castillo
With a Lensbaby, you can control the level of distortion thanks to the aperture disks and the different optics. If you use the double plastic lens and a the f/11 - f/22 aperture disks for example, you get very little distortion at all, except at the edges. See: http://lensbaby.com/optic-c... - cecily
The Lensbaby started out as a pretty one-dimensional item but they've been continuously adding so many different optics and accessories to the base product that they now cover a lot of the effects that getting a separate Holga/Diana/pinhole/fisheye etc. lens would give you. Making it much more versatile (at a cost obviously). - ronin

Time is like money. You only have a limited amount and everyone wants a piece of it.
So time is like cake? - Kevin Fox
But at least you can sometimes get your money back. - Victor Ganata
But both money and cake depreciate over time. - Kevin Fox
Mmmm, time cake. - Stephen Mack
I prefer cake time. - Kevin Fox
And you can always get your cake back, but you might not like the form it's in anymore. - Victor Ganata
Not true, you can always earn more money, but you can never make more time. Money is a function that relies on two inputs time and value created. - Jimminy
true Jimminy and further, not everyone wants a piece of your time, this Tweet seems to speak more of the Tweeter than to a true statement. Like Fox said...mmmm time cack...errr cake - sofarsoShawn

iPhone was Apple - Ken Sheppardson
Brand matters. - Ken Sheppardson
Did brand matter before the iPhone was launched? My sister wants an iPhone cause it's an iPhone, not cause it's Apple. - Johnny Worthington
You just heard him in the video, Leo. He doesn't have an accent. - Ken Sheppardson
Jeez... - Ken Sheppardson
JooJoo... Isn't that a chewy gummi-based sweet? - Johnny Worthington

Their own version of the Kindle, essentially - Ken Sheppardson
ChromeOS... or Android - Ken Sheppardson

I went to a concert 2 weeks ago (Pearl Jam = 30,000+) and the 3G service crashed. The amount of iPhones I saw was crazy. - Johnny Worthington

Leo, I have a question about Ford Sync and multiple phones. Can you only pair 1 phone at a time? If you can pair 2, what happens when 1 rings? - Johnny Worthington
"The Sync also has support for multiple phones, up to twelve per unit to be exact. If more than one phone is present at one time in the car, the Sync will attempt connection with the accounts primary phone and then will switch to another linked phone as needed." -- http://www.bluetomorrow.com/bluetoo... - Ken Sheppardson
Cool, thanks Ken - Johnny Worthington
Although I'm not sure what "as needed" means... whether that means when a new call comes in, or when the primary phone isn't present and it needs an outbound connection... - Ken Sheppardson

The Snow Queen is One of Disney's Next Hand-Drawn Films
"Back in February, we reported that Disney wants to release a new hand-drawn animated movie every two years. The Princess and the Frog is already out in theaters, with an 85% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and is set to expand nationwide this weekend. But what's next for Disney? We've heard rumblings of other projects in the works and, of course, the new Winnie the Pooh movie will be hand-drawn, but is there more? Brendon Connelly from SlashFilm got a small update on another new hand-drawn Disney project called The Snow Queen. It's apparently an old project that fell apart a few years back and has been dusted off again recently." - Derrick from Bookmarklet

Google Reader lets you search your read items. Such a useful feature, makes me wish I could surf the net in Reader.
Especially after a night of staying up waaay too late bouncing on the 'j' key reading the Popular items. - DeWitt Clinton
I like that you can search anything that you're subscribed to, even if you haven't read it yet. The archive is seemingly endless, too. Great for when I'm looking for something that I could've sworn I saw once, but mass marked as read, didn't star, or didn't share somewhere else. - Mark Trapp
You can expand Web History to cover pages you visit too, regardless of whether you searched for them using Google or not, but you need to use Google Toolbar 5 (which I think means Internet Explorer too?) to benefit from that: http://www.google.com/support... - Tony Ruscoe
@Tony - yeah, I think Toolbar can do that, thanks for mentioning it. For better or for worse, I'm not a Toolbar user -- all Chrome on OSX and Linux exclusively these days. - DeWitt Clinton
Same here. I would love that feature to be included in Chrome. - Tony Ruscoe
Or a Chrome Extension. Really, I'd love to pick and choose among Toolbar features, and extensions seem to be the way to go for that. - DeWitt Clinton
Doesn't Chrome have a URL history in it (at least in your local profile)? - John μller
I don't think Chrome does full-text searches things you've seen like Google Reader and Google Web History do. Safari does full-text searches of your history, though. Edit: chrome://history does in fact allow full-text searches of your history; neat. - Mark Trapp
Thanks Mark! chrome://history is my new favourite toy... :-) - Tony Ruscoe
Whoa. chrome://history/ with full-text search. Did not know that. Amazing! Thanks, Mark, John. - DeWitt Clinton

'redonkulous' ? - Mo Kargas
And exaggeration of ridiculous (in a good way), Mo. - Derrick

This...word...is not a mark in humanity's favor. Especially coming from the O.C - Mo Kargas
