Fingerprint Advertising: Embed Ads in Real Human Prints
Give Big Brother the finger - and a customized message!

Is this a stunt? Yes — yes it is. But it is not a hoax. Fingerprint duplication is a well-established, time-honored process. Your prints are the result of dirt, oil, and fat naturally adhering to the unique contours of “friction” or “papillary” ridges on your fingers. We are simply replacing these contours with a custom-modified covering.

I love eggs. Scrambled, soft boiled, hard-boiled, fried, or an omelette, I’ve yet to find a way of serving an egg that I didn’t fundamentally think was wonderful.

And yet I haven’t eaten a poached egg in 15 years.

Why? Fear. Fear of getting it wrong. Fear of “stringy egg soup”. Fear of stinky vinegar stinking up the house.

So I thought to myself, “surely there’s a website that’ll give me advice on the perfect poached egg?”

And to google I go, and of course there is a thousand and one bloody sites. And guess what? It’s a hotbed of conflicting advice. Every chef has a different method. I’m confused, I don’t want choice - I want results.

買了MOLESKINE Memo Pocket
結帳時看到這個Pen Holder
就順手拿了一個

之前在文具雜誌裡
有看過類似的
但是不確定是否同一個牌子

打算拿來放在目前使用的筆記本上
夾子設計可以放置想放之處
彈簧設計，不管筆管大小都放得進去
也可以卡住筆管
一個放藍筆，一個寫紅筆或黑筆，剛剛好

The menu templates included with most DVD authoring applications are too fugly for even ironic use. But that’s just as well, because creating a sophisticated animated menu tailored to your content can take less time than burning the DVD to disc! Using Photoshop and NeroVision Express 3, we updated the orientation DVD that all Maximum PC interns are required to watch, so you can see just how easy it is—and how to get around some of the quirks.
