Move over humdrum photo albums, cuz we got a new photo case in town. It’s the fantastic photo flip-flap! A cheap and simple way to display your photos in neat-o book form, the flip-flap is named for the unique noise it makes when you open it! Flip flaps are neat because you can see all the photos in the book at once instead of flipping through page by page by page, as is the case with regular ol’ photo albums. Why go out and get some generic photo album when you can make your own that just requires some scrap paper, some folding, and some adhesive? p.s. We’re hiring! Seeking web developers, product specialists, photogs, and writers. Exciting, no? |

Could you pick your laptop out of a lineup? We’ll be honest, we probably couldn’t. While we love computing at the local cafe, (our fav place to tweet) we can’t help but notice that everyone else sipping cocoa seems to have the exact same aluminum “book.” That’s why we transformed the light-up logo on our laptop into a 35mm slide viewer. This quickie project not only makes your laptop stand out in a sea of computer clones but also shows off your photo + DIY skills to your co-workers and cafe cohorts.
Voilà! A laptop that shows off your DIY photography talents in less than 10 minutes. *We used electrical tape. If you’re worried about tape residue, test a small area first. Make a Slide Viewer with Your Laptop |

Marsupials are jerks.* Look at ‘em, with their beady little eyes, lording it over us because they’ve got pouches. “Look at us,” they say, “our young don’t even have to walk because we’ve got these rad pouches.” We found the cure to pouch envy. It’s an amazing way to turn photos into pouches. All you need is some easy-to-find photo fabric and some glue: you don’t even need to sew. These are just like the pouches you see in hip shops that look like cassette tapes, tacos or PB&J sandwiches. You can make your pouch look like any object you can find! Now we can carry anything: cameras, credit cards, spare batteries, tiny fetal marsupials…Take that, smug koalas of the world. How To Make a Pouch That Looks Like Anything p.s. Facebook called. It said you should probably “like” us. |
