GARAGE DOOR PHOTO TARPAULINS

The Now That's Nifty blog blogged about a German company called Style Your Garage, that is selling photo trapaulins to pop on your garage door. Oh the front of the garage door obviously, for the world to see.

I saw this (the picture directly below) and could NOT stop laughing!

The two below are just two of my favourites :) :)

BAMBOO LAPTOP STAND

Don't you just hate sitting with your laptop on your lap, or on a desk and your neck is aching? Laptop's are so convenient, especially when you want to sit in bed but just need to be on Facebook. But they, unfortunately, have their flaws, such as causing iritating neck pain. That's why I'm loving the thought of these laptop stands. They even fit together like a puzzle, and are strong enough for any laptop size.

They are roughly around $61US, and can be purchased from here.

Cannot wait to buy one.

TOP TEN POISONOUS FOODS WE LOVE TO EAT

Just stumbled across this website that lists the top 10 poisonous foods, which happen to be very commonly eaten.
I never knew there was cyanide in almonds, and that the capsaicin (which makes chillies hot) in chillies can kill you if you have too many chillies. But on a good note, apparently one green chilli pod has about 6 times as much Vitamin C.

PUZZLE PICTURE FRAMES

A little while back Incredible Things blogged about Japenese woodworks, Sasaki Kogei, who created picture frames that interlock with each other like a puzzle.


The frames are made out of either oak or walnut wood, giving you a choice of colour, and can also be arranged vertically or horizontally as long as you purchase some spacers.

But it needs to be noted that since wood is a natural product, each frame will be of a slightly different colour and grain.

ALICE IN WONDERLAND DOES NOT NEED THE 3D YA'LL!!

I do not personally like movies being in 3D.

Once in a while is fine, but in all honesty I'd be so much happier if it wasn't about to take over all movies being released now a days.

My only reason for disliking it because it distracts me from the movie. I loose my concentration over the story line, and get irritated by all the random objects flying towards me that I wantt o just walk out.

Don't get me wrong, I have sat through one or two movies were I've completely wrapped myself in the 3D experience and applauded it (and maybe a little too much).

I have not yet gone to see Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland, but I do know that I will not be viewing it in 3D. And while I was on Gizmodo earlier I came across a review on Alice In Wonderland in 3D. This review talks about how 3D is unnecessary from such a wonderful story.

I'm so happy someone else feels the same way :)

JELLIO GUMMY BEAR CHANDELIER

Jellio are planning to make 10 of these Gummy Bear chanedliers. Each one takes 2 months create, and will be slightly different as they're all hand-strung.

Imagine all the pretty colours that are created by the bears as light hits them. I would love one, but I think I'd want to be eating Gummy Bears constently if I had to look at this all the time.

Oh ps, they're not real (dw I was deeply disappointed when I found out too) they're actually acrylic.

YOU COULD BE A STUFFED ANIMAL

You can purchase a cartoon buddy of yourself from the boys at I Am A Stuffed Animal. All you have to do is send in a photo (or multiples if you want to be sure you'll get a good end result), then the boys will do all the hard work by designing your cartoon buddy and assembling it.

End result is your very own self in a plush toy!
