Telegraph.co.uk just did an exposé on Lisa Lichtenfels. Her art is unlike any other in that her technique is more akin to a craft or, what I might consider to be what a grandmother might do for her grandchildren, but she has taken her craft and elevated it to a level that can only be compared to a 16th century artisan. She uses silk stockings and padding to create these ultra lifelike sculptures.

Review: Dolphin Browser for Android
November 12th, 2009I’ve been playing with a browser I found by accident in Android Market for about a day now, and I’m quite impressed. I was happy with the built in browser, but this one gives customizable gestures, tabs, and a whole slew of popular sites, and social links as a catalog of bookmarks by default. Its interface is well thought out, the tabs can hide to give up that valuable real estate.
The browser even supports multi-touch for the cynogen builds, which I haven’t tested, but I am willing to bet it makes the power of this little browser that much more awesome.
I would highly recommend this browser to anybody, especially if you are a web junky like me.
Dolphin Browser (Social&Smart) was developed for Android by MGeek. Get it in the Android Market or use your scanner here or through the official website: http://sites.google.com/a/mgeek.mobi/browser/
Make a gadget screen protector on the cheap
November 8th, 2009I recently became the proud owner of a Sprint HTC Touch, and as such I wanted to protect the screen from getting scratched up. But my not-so-fat wallet protested at the $20 for commercial screen protectors.
I mean, it is plastic right? $20 is a lot in my opinion. But even if you do go that route, it is still cheap insurance. I chose to find my own way, and I came across this article on instructables.com http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-your-own-screen-protector./
I added my own spin on things, since I didn’t want to use the soapy water solution.
After placing the tape, I used a credit card to smooth it from one end to the other to lay it down while removing air bubbles. Worked out pretty well.
After its placed its just a simple step of cutting the excess off…
And that is it. You just protected your gadget for free (if you had the tape laying around like I did).
I hope this helps some of you. With today’s economy, we need more tips like these.
