My fun, silly poster collage from my facebook profile pics

I don’t know what came over me, but I thought it would be fun to make a photo collage of all of the random profile pics I’ve used on facebook. Sam’s Club made it super easy for me by having a button you press to pull your facebook photos in. All of the albums you’ve created in facebook magically appear in your Sam’s Club account. I just hit select all on my profile photo album and….oh, wait…I’m going to show it!

Dopp kit or ditty bag and chance to win free photo gift!

I know it seems goofy but watch the video and comment here and maybe I’ll hook you up with a free photo gift from Costco…

My favs from CES

I just got back from CES 2010 and what an amazing show it was. Unfortunately, I spent more time in meetings than exploring the show floor but there were a few products that caught my eye. Here’s a glimpse of those…

The Polaroid Instant Mobile Printer is available at Costco and the Polaroid site for $49.99 and the Instant Digital Camera is at the Polaroid site for $199. I’m coveting the Polaroid Pogo Instant Digital Camera right now and my birthday is less than a month away (hint, hint)

The Sony Bloggie is another great birthday present for me. So cool. I’d go for the Bloggie Camera Kit for $189.99. It comes with the 360 video attachment and a 4GB memory stick.  Check out the fun colors (I personally like it in eggplant).  Here’s a review with video footage of the Sony Bloggie.

Here are the Etymotic earphones that are my new favorite. The stay in my ears comfortably and block out other noise. I can’t wait to head out for a trail run with these!

You can get an Eye-Fi card at Costco for $59.95…the best deal I’ve found so far. Here’s the link to my review of the Eye-Fi card.

Some shameless self promotion… Here are some video interviews (one including me) from Pixalated Geek at the It Won’t Stay In Vegas party at the Atomic Testing Museum put on by the Parnassus Group and Scoble. Awesome sponsors like Blackberry, Clear, PlayStation, and many others

There are countless other great posts and videos from CES 2010… If you are interested, I’d start here with Robert Scoble’s post.

I didn’t take nearly the pictures that I meant to take, but here are a few below.

Serious Art Therapy with Plastic Recycled Bottlecap Art

Not only do I put recycled bling in these cool new designs but I’m about to make a series with photos of my Dad’s 7 grandkids for him for his birthday tomorrow… Look for monthly ReCaptivation giveaways where you’ll be able to send a photo for me to put in my recycled bottlecap art.

Oh…and if you want to win a bottlecap pendant, a head hug (knitted hat) or a ZoomAlbum Kit, check out Meylah. They did a feature on me on Sunday in their Twelve Days of Christmas series…

Extra inspiration from Chris Jordan’s photography of the baby albatross skeletons on Midway Island. I’m working on helping to build awareness of our plastic consumption.
