Is This The Best Use Of A scanner Ever?

18 Mar

If, like me, you have an old scanner laying around somewhere you might be about to find a new use for it. Back in the day everyone had a scanner but now they don’t seem quite so useful. If you use a digital camera and don’t work from home, what use are they? Sure you can scan your face but that is only fun for the first 100 times.

First there was ‘Face Your Pockets‘ a site where people scanned and sent in the contents of their pockets surrounding their faces. It’s a lot more interesting than it sounds. Now there is a site call Scanwiches which combines scanning with sandwiches, a winning combination. The scans are actually really well done resulting in nice hi-res images that wouldn’t look completely out of place on a gallery wall. Click on the image below to visit the site.

The Top 5 Celebrity Blogs

11 Dec

Everybody has a blog these days even celebrities. Some of them even write their own blogs! Here are my top 5 celebrity blogs.

1. Olivia Munn

Attack of the show host Olivia Munn knows her audience. Almost every post features a photo of her either doing something stupid or wearing a small amount of clothes.

Key quote: “I went last night and it was awesome, here are some photos…”

2. Kanye West

There has been some debate about whether Kanye actually writes his own blog. Some entries are clearly Kanye but most of the posts are an introduction to an Artist, Model, Product or even architect. It doesn’t really matter who writes it because there is always something interesting to see.

Key quote: “Commissioned by Dior Homme artistic director Kris Van Assche, the Dior Homme store in Paris was given a fresh new installation by Italian artist Andrea Mastrovito…”

3. Moby

Even if you aren’t a big fan of his music Moby’s blog is still an entertaining read.

Key quote: “somebody at some point should really teach me how to be a proper rock star, not some bald geek who goes to whole foods at 9:58 pm to buy soap and lion hats.”

4 Stephen Fry

You already know that Stephen Fry is funny, charming and clever but did you know that he is a tech head? His blog features his Guardian ‘Dork Talk’ columns as well as posts about anything else he thinks is interesting. It has a great design and there are Podcasts too.

Key quote: “I seem to use one iPhone exclusively for mad hacking, jailbreaking and frigging about with, another as a pedometer, another for music, another as a – guess what ? – phone.”

5 Kevin Smith

It’s arguable that Smith hasn’t released a good film since ‘Mallrats’ (I haven’t seen the new one yet) but that is irrelevant. His blog is funny and well written although you have to overlook the fact that it is only one post per page due to the massive amount of ads for his new movie.

Key quote: “Big month around here. Hope ya’ll can come out and support the flick. Then, come November 1st, if you see me with any junk food in my hand, you are entitled to kick me in the ass.”
