El correo basura tipografía collage arte My favorite retailer sends me many catalogs and sale mailers. I must say, I always get excited when a Crate and Barrel catalog arrives. I get a lot of inspiration from looking through them and the quality of the paper is great for decoupaging, especially the CB2 catalog! Unlock Your Bike With Your Phone, With This Smartphone-Controlled U-Lock Here is a basic fact of modern life: You're more likely to lose your keys than a smartphone, which would be like losing a limb to a growing portion of the population. That's one reason that smart locks--locks that will open from a smartphone--are gaining in popularity. BitLock, a smartphone-controlled Bluetooth bike lock, is bringing that trend to the cycling world, where smart locks have yet to take a foothold. Created by electrical engineer Mehrdad Majzoobi, the BitLock is purportedly the first keyless bike lock tailored to the peer-to-peer bikesharing community, where the ability to easily grant someone else access to a bike is paramount. "I come from a hardware security background, and came to look at this problem from a security point of view first--looking at the implications of using smartphones as access control or keys," he says. "In most peer to peer sharing, there's the hassle of sending a physical key.

CES Roundup: 16 Cool Gadgets from Sunday at the Vegas Tech Show It’s tough to numerically pinpoint which days of CES are which.

Actually, Tuesday is the first official day of CES, seeing that the show this year runs from January 7 to January 10. January 7 is the first day the show floor is open. A lot of stuff happens before the show floor opens, though, and Monday is the first full day that a bunch of stuff is officially scheduled starting first thing in the morning and stretching well into the night.
Pinturas Bricolaje - Revamped What seems like ages ago, I painted three abstracts for our bedroom that I have felt a bit ho-hum toward since adding brighter touches, like the cheery Marimekko blanket. Readers have asked how I made the paintings but, since I was actually trying to recreate this painting, it was a crazy, un-documentable journey from blank canvases to finished pieces.

Here's how I added some more colour: This is the same method I used originally: with acrylic paints I painted some random, colourful squares in different colours and then, once they had dried a touch, so as not to smear the paint around, I painted over them in white. The result is an abstract with colour peaking through white.
