We all know that razor blades and printer ink cartridges are a racket, where they sell you a cheap device that can only function with something else that is expensive, and which you use up relatively quickly. We’ve had ink refill kits for years for inkjet printers, but up to now there’s been no real equivalent for razor blades except for letting them sit in mineral oil between uses to prevent oxidation/rust, which quickly dulls a blade. RazorPit aims to change the game by giving you a simple place to clean your blades effectively, and apparently it does such a good job that you can get up to 150 shaves from a single blade. If it works, it’s well worth the $32.

After finding this post on Brown Sugar Bacon Buttermilk Waffles, I immediately ordered a waffle maker so I could make them. Brown Eyed Baker has some of the tastiest recipes I’ve ever made, and it’s quickly becoming one of my favorite blogs.

If you have an iPad and you love to browse your friends’ photos on Flickr and/or Facebook, you will love Flickpad. I saw the demo video and bought it immediately. Browsing my friends’ photos on Facebook.com, Flickr.com, subscribing to a Flickr RSS feed, or even using the iPhone apps that I’ve tried before just didn’t cut it. This is the only way that I’ll be browsing those photos from here on out.

Flickpad is one of those apps that can only be done on a device like the iPad, literally letting you touch, flick, tap, slide, and zoom your photos. It’s full of great little touches that show that a lot of work has gone into it. For instance, if you flick a photo off of the screen, it’s marked as viewed. If you flick a photo off of the screen with 2 fingers, it marks all photos from that person as viewed (this is good for times where someone uploads 100 pictures of their trip to a bread factory).

If you tap and hold a photo, you get different options. You can save photos right to the iPad, email them, favorite them on Flickr, comment on them on both Facebook and Flickr, and even favorite them on the device itself. When you’re done browsing photos for a particular day or week, you’re given 2 boxes filled with photos… one holds all photos that you’ve seen for that time period, and one holds all photos that you’ve favorited for that time period. So good, and highly recommended. It’s $6.99 on the App Store.

Nokero has a vision to replace the kerosene lamps that are used around the world world with their lights, which are not much bigger than a standard light bulb. They’re solar-powered, LED lit, provide 4 hours of light on a charge, are cheaper to use than a kerosene lantern, and rainproof.
Great idea! It’d be good to have some of these around here before the next hurricane creeps into the Gulf.

With so many companies now having the ability to make prints of photos that you upload to their website, how do you differentiate yourself? If you’re Fracture, you change the medium. Fracture doesn’t print your photos on paper, they print on glass! That’s epic.

You upload your photo, customize it and it’s delivered to your door with all the hardware you need to hang it. Pretty awesome.

This putty apparently has amazing properties. It can be stretched, smashed, molded, bounced, and more. Depending on how much force is applied over a certain time period, it behaves differently. From the site: “Over long time intervals, it acts somewhat like a liquid (spreading slowly). Over medium time intervals, it stretches. Over quick time intervals, you can tear it. And when pounded with a hammer, well, it acts like a solid and explodes. In a large clean area, you can collect all of the pieces and continue to use the putty as if nothing happened. It’s crazy awesome.”

Epic Wave Photography is right. Clark Little is very good at showing us things that you don’t normally get to see unless you’re a surfer. These photos are awesome.

For years I’ve been looking for the perfect key holder to hang on the wall, but nothing’s been awesome enough for me to actually buy. I really, really like this one though. It’s most definitely on the short list.

Chocri looks amazing. It’s handmade, custom chocolate from Belgium that gets shipped straight to you. You pick up to 6 toppings/ingredients from a large list that includes nuts (pecans, almonds, peanuts, coconut shavings, cashews, etc), fruit (apples, blueberries, banana chips, pears, cherries, etc), spices (chives, pepper, chili, ginger, cinnamon, jalepenos), decorations, grains (cornflakes, organic can sugar, sesame, poppy seeds, mint), confections (nougat pieces, toffee, gummy bears, mini cookies), and of course BACON. There’s so much to choose from that you’ll have to order several. I doubt you’ll ever have another chocolate bar like the kind that you can whip up here.

Back to assembling my chocolate bar(s)!

Never before have I wanted wooden letters carved into the shape of my name. Now I do. These are fantastic, hand-made, custom letters that interlock in puzzle-piece fashion. Too awesome.

These are too funny. I normally duck whenever I see a camera coming, but I’d be more inclined to have pictures taken of me if I had a couple of these around.

I bought SoundPaper the other day, and its a fantastic note-taking program for the iPad. It’s like Pear Note, in the palm of your hand. Love it.
