MY FAVORITE!  OLD SCHOOL IPHONE HOLDER

YUBZ Retro Classic Handsets 
The disputes as to the effects of radiation on the human beings using cellphones continues. This time, we have marketing that promotes the "old school", retro, phone hand helds to be attached to our mobile devices using the "reduces 96%-99% of the
In fact, on the Imobifone Mobile Phone website, they state the following:

"LONG term mobile phone users could face a higher risk of developing cancer in later life according to a decade long study. The report was published earlier this year has reportedly found that heavy mobile use is, in fact, linked to brain tumors."


For me, I LOVE Old phones and the New ones so this is a great compromise to use what works from the old with the new technology.  MY FAVORITE is the TOP model that uses the old school phone into a stand for an iPhone. 
It is on Etsy and alittle pricey starting at $200. ( Above photo). 




See some other model  stands for home that hold your phone to do your business while seated.

Thank you, for picture taking, Mr.Daguerre

Thank you, Mr. Louis Daguerre, for Picture Taking! 

How the love of making pictures has progressed and the process of "picture taking" has gone leaps and bounds and we have Mr. Louis Daguerre to thank for allowing us to immortalize a moment. His innovations were one of the beginnings of our recording every moment to share with others. 



It was 1838, after years of experimentation with capturing images, that Daguerre explained his process before a joint session of the Académie des Sciences and the Académie des Beaux-Arts- describing  the  daguerreotype. As described by the Met, it is a "one-of-a-kind photographic image on a highly polished, silver-plated sheet of copper, sensitized with iodine vapors, exposed in a large box camera, developed in mercury fumes, and stabilized (or fixed) with salt water or 'hypo' (sodium thiosulphate),  Although Daguerre was required to reveal, demonstrate, and publish detailed instructions for the process, he wisely retained the patent on the equipment necessary to practice the new art."  

Celebrating his 224th birthday, Google honored  him with his own Google Family Portrait in the style of his works.  Both are innovators who provide us tools and ways to enhance the lives we live today- imaging in very creative ways and looking ahead to ways to improve our days- that is something to celebrate!

STEVE JOBS REMEMBERED in words and images "Oh Wow"



STEVE JOBS, Kindly Remembered 

I started this blog - inspired by the images I saw online Washington Post but after reading the eulogy from Steve Jobs' sister, Mona Simpson in the New York Times, I was so touched and enlightened - I need to refer you to her words and thank her for sharing her personal experiences. 
She describes so kindly the human connection she had with this man we have come to look to for technology innovations. Moved by her words, I will not even try to re-cap them for fear of losing the essence of her message. Please take the time and not focus on the media's Last words of Jobs, but share with me as I say, "Oh Wow, Oh Wow, Oh Wow". 





Many tributes have been made to Steve JObs, as I suspect, will continue. This collection gathered by the Washington Post-"Steve JObs Inspired Art" is most creative.
The creative artists shown are: Charles Tsevis, Jonathon Mak Long, KJ Anton Powers, John Sherffun, Dylan Rescover, Mike Matis, and Boing, Boing.  It is inspiring me to do one of my own- forthcoming.
It is also reported in a NYTIMES interview that Jobs' sister recalled his last words as, "Oh Wow, Oh Wow, Oh Wow".
