A Very Sad Day

This is a very sad day in modern history. It is the last day that Dwayne's will ever process a roll of Kodachrome.

There have been a lot of great films in history but only one with a hit song written about it!

Apple Lisa 1

An Apple Lisa 1 sold for $15,000 on eBay. This Lisa 1 actually works perfectly. It had been sitting in a closet for 20 years.

The Lisa 1 was very unreliable. To find one that actually works is a miracle of sorts.

Not sure that I could part with $15,000 to buy one thought :-)

Classic Typewriters

Some of you may not even remember the typewriter. It was what we used to create documents before the invention of the PC. :-)

There is a company called My Typewriter.com that still sells typewriters. After a nuclear explosion, this will be the only way to write a letter :-)

Rare Lunar Eclipse

There is going to be a rare lunar eclipse tonight on the Winter solstice. According to NASA, the last time this occurred was in 1638. It is not expected to happen again until 2094.

The eclipse will last 3.5 hours. It starts at 1:30am EST and ends around 5:00am EST. The earth's shadow will completely cover the moon for 72 minutes.

Porsche Sled

If you are going to buy a sled this year it might as well be built by Porsche. This Porsche Sled is only $265. Porsche - There is not substitute :-)

Christmas Presents For Cats

It wouldn't be Christmas without toys for the cats. This year they can have iPad games made specifically for them. iPads are great for everyone. Its really funny until you remember how much you paid for that iPad :-)

Price Transparency

Retailers hate price transparency! A Wall Street Journal article details a guy pricing a Garmin for his girlfriend at Best Buy using the camera on his Android phone as a scanner. (This is an application that I use all the time.) The Garmin was $184.85 at Best Buy and $106.75 at Amazon with free shipping and no tax. He was able to purchase the Garmin from Amazon while he was still at Best Buy.

This is a paradigm shift that retailers had better get a handle on fast.

Catception

This is actually pretty spooky.

Rare Nikon Lens

Every now and then a rare lens pops up that few people have ever see. The above Nikon ED 300mm f/2.8G lens is just such a lens. It appeared on eBay for $15000. This one looks to be beat up. These lenses originally sold for between $20,000 and $30,000.

From the looks of this lens it is a collectors item.

World Outlook

Sometimes one's outlook on the world is just a matter of perspective :-)

Best Condiment Known To Man

Who needs mayonnaise when you can have Baconnaise. It is the ultimate bacon spread and can be used on just about anything.

Dental Health

We all know the importance of dental health. It turns out that flossing is more important than brushing. To get the most out of your flossing time Bacon Floss is the answer.

World's Best Popcorn

Regular popcorn is for the masses. The best popcorn is, of course, infused with bacon. Bacon Pop is the answer to your bacon prayers :-)

Bacon Of The Month Club?

While it is not the 'Bacon of the Month Club,' the Savenor's Bacon Society does offer monthly specials. Treat someone you love to the gift of bacon!

Nexus S With Gingerbread

The new Nexus S has been released with the Gingerbread OS. This is so vastly superior to the iPhone that it is like night and day.

The only problem with this near constant release of new Android OS phones is that it is getting really expensive for me :-)

Polaroid Is Back

Polaroid announced that their new camera will be shown at CES 2011 early next year. The above photo is one that they are using for promotion and to make us guess what is coming. This is nostalgia at its best!

Carrots

This guy is going to need some bigger carrots :-)
