  2. Makes Me Want To Get An iPhone (Almost)

    June 6, 2009 by Gail

    I mentioned Dax’s current obsession of taking photos with his iPhone and using ShakeItPhoto to turn them into Polaroids. I like how it takes ordinary cameraphone pictures and turns them into Polaroids with a method that looks an awful lot like colour burn in Photoshop. ShakeItPhoto even requires you to shake the iPhone and makes you wait for the photo to get ‘developed’. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work for me because iPod Touches don’t have cameras. Dax captured me taking photos of the vintage cameras below, and the bottom photo is what I saw looking through the Nikon D300.

    I love cookies! I love when they come out of the oven all soft and warm. I prefer cookies over other desserts because they’re smaller and therefore you can have a tapas-style dessert spree if you so desire, if your belt still buckles after you eat at a place like Phil’s.

    You can get the full scoop on the website about what’s on offer, but here’s a quick taster:

    • you can custom build your cookies with choices of three different kinds of dough, plus mix-ins that include nuts, berries, and chunks of chocolate, toffee, what-have-you
    • you can build cookie sandwiches with a variety of sweet spreads
    • you can take home cookie dough and bake it whenever you like
    • the cookies only take two minutes to bake!
    • they’ve got organic Ontario milk and other beverages like coffee to accompany your cookies

    Time for some pictures! I asked permission, and they gladly let me papparazzi my way around: (more…)
